San Marcos –Troupe of the Revolt will be hosting a street play called “Stand by me,” in the Quad of Texas State University at the end of November.

Troupe of the Revolt is a group of fellow Texas State students who all have the passion and love  for theater art and its many other attributes. They are a group of approximately 42 students who actively engage and participate in theater events around San Marcos. They act, write and construct plays,movies and web series. The group not only populates theatre actors, but also writers and non- theatre actors, because they want everyone in theatre to be able to practice their talent.

According to member, Tessa Ehrman, there will be a new street play called “Stand by me,”coming the end of this month to the Quad. The play is written by Duncan Lott a fellow member of the group and will be based on the bystander effect and they will be needing the atmosphere of the Quad to complete the filming. They are hoping they will be able to stick to the scheduled date, but it will all be based on people showing up for the production.

“It will be done in the Quad and it will be very interesting, because we will have plenty of bystanders for it,” said Ehrman.

This will be a great accomplishment for the group and they hope the turn out will be great for the street play. If you are interested in joining Troupe of the Revolt or  just want to learn more about their group and members, they meet on Thursday’s at 5pm in the coffee lounge in Lampasas Hall. Come and share the love and passion the group has for theatre and practice your art.
