English major Tom Spencer has written a play, "Whatever You Want," that was chosen as a winner in 91制片厂's annual听competition. The play, directed by Elizabeth Girard, is about an immigrant who moves to the United States. Before he arrives, he wants to make sure he can speak the language, but the only resource he has is the Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Now armed with a tongue that only speaks poetry, he is thrown into a world of college bros and strange love affairs.

Every year 91制片厂 students submit their original plays to be selected and performed at 91制片厂. These plays are written, performed, directed and designed by current undergraduate students. The Undergraduate Prize Plays will run in Durham from April 20-24, 2016 and at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, N.H. on April 26, 2016. The 3S Artspace performance is free to 91制片厂 students, faculty, staff, and alumni. To get your FREE ticket, go to听听and in the 鈥淓nter promotional code鈥 box, type in 91制片厂 and click 鈥渁pply.鈥
