Bittersweet Hard Candy, the student-written play by Charles Lauffer was the first in-person theater performance since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indiana. After a week of delays and closings due to inclement weather, Professor Ashley Wallace found herself leading a virtual first reading in late February. Despite the virtual start to rehearsals, Wallace and the students under her direction seemed more than ready to finally act in person again, as well as create the various costumes and props needed to run a stage show. The video of the performance ran from Thursday, April 1 through Thursday April 15, 2021.
