  • Description
    RED CUP. 
    Presented by Notre Dame Film, Television, and Theatre
    Directed by by Matt Hakwins
    Returning to the stage for a second year, "RED CUP" is an one-act documentary theatre performance inspired by written essays from Notre Dame students on the drinking culture in college, a culture often associated with "rest" or "leisure."The play is inspired by the final papers written for the course "Drunk on Film: The Psychology of Storytelling with Alcohol and Its Effects on Alcohol Consumption at Notre Dame." With a visual motif of the ubiquitous red Solo party cup, and accompanied by a host of media references from films, ads, and social media posts, "RED CUP" tells the intimate stories of a small group of Notre Dame students, and the profound effect alcohol has had in their lives, from childhood through their senior year in college.
