Drama enthusiasts at North Dakota State College of Science are going to see a new face this year. Tony Reinfeld saw the open opportunity of drama director and took it.

With his background in dramatics, he felt NDSCS's program would be a good one to get involved in. He is currently employed at North Dakota State University. He has a bachelor's degree in acting and directing from NDSU and performed at University of Minnesota Duluth and in Bismarck.

Upon arriving at NDSCS, Reinfeld said he was impressed with the Harry and Ella Stern Cultural Center. "It's a beautiful space," he said.

Reinfeld's first show will be "Movie Game," which begins Thursday. Reinfeld first encountered "Movie Game" while in Bismarck and found it to be hilarious. It's a romantic comedy about a man who wants to live in a movie for a week. While being stalked by an eager director and advised by a possibly insane psychiatrist, he falls for two possible women — his best friend and an engaged woman.

Once he's gotten this show under his belt and is used to the college, Reinfeld feels he has found a way to get a grant to enhance the lighting and sound at Stern Cultural Center. This is still just a possibility at this point, he said.

As for replacing former director Dean Foley, Reinfeld said, "Dean did great things. I hope to entertain as much or as well as he did."

The students Reinfeld is working with is one of the most enthusiastic groups he's seen. They have a love and passion for drama, which is something he hasn't seen for awhile. They are more than happy to work late evenings building sets and practicing, he said.

They're so enthusiastic, Reinfeld said they hope to soon form a student-run drama club. Currently, Reinfeld is the organizer, but he is encouraging those involved to set up fundraisers to reach out to the community.

"Movie Game" begins Thursday, Nov. 13 with a show at 7:30 p.m. There is an admission fee at the door. The show is rated PG-13, Reinfeld said. It runs at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 15. It also runs at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16.
