My one-act play Pledging has just been published in Rushing Thru the Dark by Choeofpleirn Press. The editor is Ruth J. Heflin. This short play takes only ten minutes to perform. Pledging is about two women friends who want to join sororities at Appleton College. However, they face discrimination as a Jew and an African-American. Pledging was performed at the Tritonysia Play Festival at Triton College (2017). You can purchase this issue of Rushing Thru the Dark in two ways: Choeofpleirn Press is selling the ebook version at www.choeofpleirnpress.com , and the print version is available from Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGKN34JR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=363WDN66IWAKV&keywords=rushing+thru+the+dark+autumn+2022&qid=1664294638&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjMwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&s=books&sprefix=rushing+thru+the+dark+autumn+2022%2Cstripbooks%2C99&sr=1-1. #drama #oneactplay #discrimination #sorority #college Sorority women photo from Bing

Editor Jason Brian has included my comments about capstone projects for college students in an article about this topic in Help in Homework. Capstone projects are special work usually done by majors in a field during their senior year to expand their knowledge and skills. For example, I did a senior honors thesis for the English Department at the University of Wisconsin about the journey novel. This task taught me a lot about writing and revising a long work of literary criticism.
