PERU — St. Bede Academy will present three original short plays at its Fall Theatre XV at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Abbey Church Lecture Hall.

The plays were written by the members of the Academy’s Genesius Project, who conceived, plotted and wrote the plays as a group, under the mentorship of drama director Fr. Dominic Garramone. The group met once or twice a week for two months, and also collaborated online via a Facebook page.

Members of The Genesius Project include: Grant Bosnich, Sam Brolley, Barbi Prokup, Sam Rosenberg, Hayden Sartin, MaryCate Smith, Brandon Glynn, Michael Rosenberg and Katie Shields.
