Kurt Vonnegut fans will be in for a treat this weekend, as No Refund Theatre performs adaptations of four of his short stories from the collection Welcome to the Monkey House.

Student director Jesse Cramer (freshman-mathematics) wrote the adaptation, which includes the four short stories entitled Long Walk to Forever, Who am I this time?, The Euphio Question and Harrison Bergeron.

The first two are more lighthearted and romantic, while the last two are science fiction and darker.

The student-run organization set foot in 111 Forum Monday evening for the first time to rehearse in the space they will be performing.

They previously rehearsed in Thomas Building.

"You always want to have more time," Sarah Burton (freshman-journalism) said about the rehearsal schedule.

She said that this will be the third show that she has been apart of in the past two months.

Burton, who will appear in The Euphio Question, Who am I this Time? and Harrison Bergeron, said Long Walk to Forever is actually her favorite of the four stories being portrayed this time.

"It's very romantic and everyone does a really good job in it. It really sucks you in," she said.

Pete Lyon (senior-history), NRT vice president, said that he has enjoyed working with the predominantly younger cast this time.

Lyon said that he finds having a student director as opposed to having a faculty member direct was more interesting.

"It's a really cool dynamic, and it's a great opportunity to do more than act," he said.

Like Burton, Lyon will also be performing in The Euphio Question, Who am I this Time? and Harrison Bergeron.

Lyon said Who am I this Time? is his favorite of the stories being performed this weekend.

That story is centered on character Harry Nash, who plays the stereotypically boring person.

However, after deciding to take part in a local theater production, Nash becomes more of a "character," or personality, himself.

In doing so he draws the attention of the new girl in town -- a Miss Helene Shaw.

In Who am I this Time?, Lyon plays the narrator and self-proclaimed "sleaze" of the performance.

"He's not necessarily a bad guy... it's fun to play something different," Lyon said of playing the role.

On average, NRT gets mostly a student audience of around 150 to 200 people.

"But we might get more for this one because of the name. People will recognize Kurt Vonnegut," Cramer said.

The performance will be this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in 111 Forum.
