The Wolves’ fall Fine Arts season is packed full of entertainment on the field, in the classrooms and on the stage. Every year Wesleyan Fine Arts surprises its audience with new shows, artwork, music and more, and this year may be the best one yet.

Director of Fine Arts Meg Foster thinks the uniqueness and variety of the programming this year will be full of crowd pleasers, and one new element she is excited about is the fall high school shows, 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse and 10 Ways to Survive The End of the World. “The fall play is back in true one-act form. Last year it was a musical, and this year [it] is two one-act plays put together. It’s going to be a comedy,” Foster said. The inspiration behind this intriguing play was to bring both comedy and a seasonal theme to the fall. The play features zombies and the apocalypse, which is very fitting for its show dates of Oct. 24, 25 and 26. There are approximately thirty students involved in the play, with around three to six lead roles per play. Keep Reading

When a comic book artist’s magical pen brings action and adventure to the Lencke Theater stage, it is up to a group of quirky middle school superheroes to save the day. The middle school fall play, “The Comic Book Artist,” told the story of D.C. Wunderman, a comic book shop owner, who accidentally brings a supervillain to life off the page of the comics.

Aspiring artist Stanley Leonardo Sappovitz, played by eighth grader Davis Olds, must save the city by creating a league of superheroes, The Fabulous Four.
