DIRECTED BY: Robin Kowa & Pete Kadushin STARRING (in alphabetical order): Ashley Morocco Bridgid Zvirblis Buddy Ruse Colin Farley Johanna Kirchheimer Mitch Manway Paul Bailey Sarah Lutz Serenity Ireland Shana Lombardi Travis Czap Trent She Vinny DelPrince This is definitely a show you DON”T WANT TO MISS because there’s just something about “Old School Nickelodeon” that touched the hearts of a generation. We each lovingly donated 30 minutes of our childhood each week to shows like Salute Your Shorts, Doug, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and Hey Arnold! And, given the option, would happily continue to do so through adulthood. The “big guys” at Nickelodeon during the 1990’s had the truly remarkable talent of stepping back into childhood and creating lovably quirky characters that we could all somehow relate to. Characters that continue to affect our generation well into college—the inspiration of hundreds of Halloween costumes and powerhours—characters that we would all love to see again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhP2_9nFtB0 YOUTUBE Video: Nickelodeon Throwback Confessionals ->(WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE) The Cast and Crew of Nickelodeon Throwback confess their frustrations, excitements and thoughts about Hell Week. The Nickelodeon Throwback will be performed this week at Penn State University for free by No Refund Theatre!

itunes pic [https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/20/af/4e/norefundtheatre/3000x3000_1731719.jpg] Listen to the cast of this NRT production to learn more about this William Shakespeare classic story of love, mischief and enchantment. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is one of the greatest comedy plays by William Shakespeare. The play revolves around the adventures of four young lovers, a group of amateur actors and their interactions with the fairies who inhabit a moonlit forest. The story takes place in Midsummer and is a complex farce featuring Hermia & Lysander and Helena & Demetrius. Their romantic intrigues are confused and complicated still further by entering the forest where Oberon, the King of the Fairies and his Queen, Titania, preside. Puck (or Robin Goodfellow) is a major character who is full of mischief and tricks. Other visitors to the enchanted forest include Bottom the weaver and his friends Snug, Snout, Quince and Flute, the amateur dramatists who want to rehearse their terrible but hilarious version of the play Pyramus and Thisbe. THREE PERFORMANCES: Thursday, April 9 Friday, April 10 Saturday, April 11 All shows are at 8 pm in 111 Forum! Free!! Starring... Anthony Arbaiza Ashley Arbaiza Callie Hanau Alex Jones Adam Bouc Katherine Leiden Ryan Bergman Hilary Caldwell Mark Celeste Lauren Valasa Ted Chylack Katie Bucaro Nicole Wells Eric Furjanic Directed by Andrew Jen Assistant Directed by Laura Herrmann **The show is approximately 2 hours long, with a 10-minute intermission.
