CARNEGIE MELLON NEW WORKS SERIES (4 new plays). Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, streams March 11-13, various times. 

It is a tradition at Carnegie Mellon’s drama school to present student-directed and/or student-written productions free to the public. This year the offerings are online, with a New Works Series that premieres four plays by graduate students in the Dramatic Writing program. The Beach, by Kate Vargish, involves two persons on a beach where the ocean becomes unnaturally hostile. Tracy Hoida’s E-Z Fix explores gender identity issues through the tale of a nonbinary inventor who builds sympathetic androids but is threatened by a time traveler with an out-of-kilter time machine. 21, by Paloma Sierra, is about Roberto Clemente. And Pass It On, by Alec Seymour, concerns a young man locked into the role of storyteller and entertainer for his dysfunctional family. The plays stream at various dates and times; see the New Works Series website for details and access. (M.V.)
