The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs is a theatre play that goes beyond glorifying Steve Jobs and delves into the impact of technology on our daily lives and its human consequence in manufacturing industries, reflecting on poor working conditions at Chinese factories. The nine-actor rendition at the MT Pockets Theatre portrayed these themes effectively using monologues. Standout performances from Travis Teffner and Shenendoah Thompson highlighted the intensity of the subject matter.

Much Ado About Nothing, by William Shakespeare–23 Aug. 2015
The Rustic Mechanicals' production of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" was average overall, lacking standout excitement. The setting, post-WWI wine country, suited the park venue. Noteworthy performances were Doug Seckman's Borachio and Steve McElroy's Claudio, both embodying their roles convincingly. Aaron Harris' portrayal of Dogberry, initially jarring, grew more appealing with time.
