"On the Rocks" provides a forum in which fresh, theatrical talent -- both on stage and back stage -- may be showcased to the University of Illinois community. It is unique, however, in that it is completely student-driven: the playwrights, producers, directors, actors, and technical crew are all students who donate their time and effort to creating a memorable evening of one-act plays.
