All plays written by Brett Bennet

Despite its title, Going to School in Colorado is actually set in Oklahoma, "in a medium-sized town just large enough to have a mall." (i.e. Bartlesville). Local boy SPENCER has just returned from an ill-fated attempt to go to college at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He had grandiose plans to attend school there, but things didn't work out and he returns home after only a few weeks. He goes to visit his friend PATRICK, who works at the records store in the mall. They discuss what happened in order to come to some conclusion and realization about where their lives are going.

Pat the Pirate presents the musings of a modern digital movie duplicator on the art and morality of his actions

Witnessing Nathan follows what happens between a careless, down and out college student and a devout Mormon. The young man is about to throw his life away, and the devout Mormon must convince him otherwise.

All of these plays have previously been read before at Independence Community College. This presentation in Bartlesville will Mr.Bennet's hometown debut.

Brett Bennett grew up in Bartlesville, graduating from Bartlesville High School in 1994. He currently lives in Independence, Kansas, where he works for the Independence Daily Reporter.
