IUB presents the Student Film Festival\nThis weekend students will get a chance to entertain audiences with their talent at the Union Board Student Film Festival.

Richard Perez debuts personal play at BPP\nBloomington Playwrights Project Artistic Director Richard Perez will perform in "Secret Things," a play he also wrote, at 8 p.m. today. "Secret Things" is a memory play, filled with remembrances of his grandpa Jesus, his mother Esperanza, his father -- a barber and a boxer, and his mother's boyfriend Don, the skinny ex-Marine who "smokes like a girl." The play tells the story of a nine-year-old boy, who, because of a catastrophic event, is suddenly forced to grow up much too quickly. Like all fish-out-of-water stories, the tales are often funny and harrowing at the same time. Performances of "Secret Things" will run through April 23 at 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the BPP, 312 S. Washington St. For more information, call 334-1188.
