Bunge has some things in common with Bigfoot.
"I would say that Bigfoot and I are very passionate people," Bunge said. "Sometimes we think with our hearts instead of our heads."
However, Bunge had some challenges in acting out Bigfoot, like speaking the poetic language that his character uses and memorizing a multitude of lines.
Bunge said that the entire cast has worked very well together.
"Everyone seems to be open and on the same page and interested in different ideas," Bunge said. "There is not only one way to do things."
Bunge has especially enjoyed being a part of "Desire Caught by the Tail" because he feels it is very unique.
"'Desire' is going to get the audience broken up and it is going to set the stage the rest of the night because it is out there," Bunge said. "If you can hang with that, you can hang with the rest of the production."
As the production goes on, the separate acts are meant to become more and more relatable for the audience.
"The shows are all really different, so there is something for everyone," said junior Emily Terrell, assistant director of "Entropy."
During the production, the audience may realize that it is only the first week of second semester classes at DePauw and wonder how the theater program pulled off a large production like this in such short time. The answer is, they used their Winter Term wisely.
Students interested in participating in this show auditioned last fall. Many of them then enrolled in a Winter Term on-campus theater class, which committed them to six hours-a-day. They spent half of the time rehearsing and the other half on stage and costume design.
"A lot got done really quickly. I know the crew was really productive," said junior Laura Durham, stage manager of the production. "The cool thing that I think people will notice when they come to the show is that having so many people only doing this show for three weeks really opened up a lot of opportunities."
