comedy, The Fairy Garden.
Change
your fate, change your mind, change your relationship status. The Adams State
University Theatre Department production Mind
Your Head opens at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 11 and continues nightly through
Saturday, Oct. 15 in the Xperimental Theatre. Senior theatre majors, Isabel
Schneider directing The Fairy Garden and Trace Gross directing Horrors, confront
the challenge of intruders, strippers, fairies, and decapitation.
The
Fairy Garden is a dark comedy which twists the fate of four ordinary people. A
wife decapitates her husband in order to run off with another man. A magical
fairy appears and grants only a single wish, changing the lives of the
individuals forever. In the process, they may discover the truth behind what it
means to be in a relationship and the limits of love.

Molly Bibaeu, Katie Mae Miller, Brandon Duran, and Hailey Villatorro will help bring in early Halloween scare for audiences in Horrors.
Horrors follows the thrilling tale of three young women who are spending a weekend of relaxation at a cabin in the woods. However, they receive an unexpected, possibly deadly visitor. Will their fates play out like a bloody horror movie or can they take control of their story and survive?
It will be a night of horror, comedy, and decapitation.
"Change your fate, defy the expected," said Gross. Schneider adds: "Make a choice to find the meaning behind every relationship, and the meaning in the choices you make, for you never know who is lurking out your window or coming up the garden path."
What do you mean death is permanent?
