The fall mainstage production in the Goshen College 2010-11 "Loyalty, Love and Loss" theater season features two student-written works offered collectively under the title Hindsight is 20/Something, and are directed by Doug Liechty Caskey. Both newly created works deal with young adult relationships in contemporary culture and the search to connect past experience to present reality.

Here Lies Hope, a play by senior Patrick Maxwell, is a study on human loneliness in the 21st century. Through a series of one-on-one encounters set in an urban American landscape, the characters realize the struggle to both define themselves and to find hope in a world that boasts of connection at the same time that technology creates barriers to the honesty that exists only in face to face encounters.

Home of the Trojans, an everyday musical of mythical proportions, conceived by Patrick Ressler and Julia Baker, with book, lyrics and music by Patrick Ressler, takes on a playfully comedic approach to linking the past of Ancient Greece with the present of 21st century American collegiate culture. Through a rolling presentation of college student relational encounters, the students in Professor Z's Greek Mythology class come to realize that the tumultuous relationships of the mythical past uncannily ring true in their own relationships of the present.
Total running time: 2 hours, 30 minutes.
