For this year’s Fall Play, Uni Theatre Arts will be presenting The Whole Darn Shooting by Jack Perry on November 19th-21st in the Big Theatre at University High School at 7pm.

THE OFFICE MEETS MAD MEN

Funny situations, ridiculous behavior, and completely wild ideas come fast and furious in this comedy about the world of advertising.

Set in the Creative Room of a small, local advertising agency, the story follows a larger-than-life TV commercial writer, a wildly unpredictable artist, a sharp-witted office assistant, and their beloved Creative Director, who have created their own chaotic—and very unconventional—way of doing things.

But when a new company president arrives from New York with an efficiency expert, everything changes. The new leadership wants to clean things up, expand the company nationally, and hand their biggest account over to a major Madison Avenue agency. Suddenly, the Creative Room crew is fighting to save both their jobs and the way they’ve always done things.

What starts as a battle against “the man” turns into an all-out, do-or-die competition to prove that this little local agency can compete with the big guys. And when their jobs—and their beloved Creative Room—are on the line, they come up with the wildest promotion idea ever conceived.

The student actors and student technicians involved in the Fall Play work alongside Uni Theatre Arts director Ranae Bettger, IUSD Theatre Operational Technician Mitchel Simoncini and an amazing staff of industry professionals (Beylul Ephrem, Lauren Bee and Kimberly Mason) to create the production.
