Our first week of the reincarnation of No Shame in Charleston was a huge success. We opened with one of our freshmen John Markowski reading "The Unicorn" written by Jeff Goode and performed at the first No Shame in Iowa. Then we went on to present several poems, a play, a monologue, faculty impressions, and a beautiful song. We had 19 people there, but the word is out now, and we're expecting many more to come this week. Thank you for your support.Jeff Goode - The Unicorn - (John M)

February 14-In honor of the opening of "This is Our Youth" and "The Vagina Monologues" we will have a theme of sex and drugs for the week. We will meet at 11pm as usual and then go see the midnight show of "This is Our Youth."We had a surprising amount of people in attendence seeing how it was singles awareness day and everything. We had a really good show.
1. "Journey of the three wise men, and an ode to Alcohol." by Robert MurdochI want to mention that several people left before Chris's monologue, but he was able to use that as a stimulus into his at first depressing then sort of tragicomic monologue to the point where some of us weren't sure if he had started the monologue or was just venting about these people leaving. It turned out to be very powerful. Also, the "Short Attention Span Theatre" was used from the first aid kit. Thank you Howard and Jesse. The piece is hilarious and the performance by Aiden and Will was great. It was script in hand, so there wasn't as much movement as the piece allows for, but I believe that the audience enjoyed it.
