Lexi Hoag of Hoosick Falls, NY appeared in SUNY Delhi's College Players fall production, "Hot Gilly Mo" November 11 - 13 in The Okun Theatre on the the SUNY Delhi campus.

Cast and crew members include SUNY Delhi students from a wide variety of programs. Hoag, who serves as an actor in the production, is pursuing an associate's degree in Event Management.

"Hot Gilly Mo" is a three-act drama about a unique group of migrant workers and their struggle. The action takes place in a small town in Missouri during the early seventies. "Hot Gilly Mo" is an old southern expression of happiness and relief.

"I'm very proud of how the students have stepped out of their comfort zones to portray the wide range of characters who appear in this play," said Kelly Keck, College Players advisor. "It may be generational, but I find it amazing that the students are able to easily empathize with the characters no matter the character's socio-economic or racial status." Keck added that a third of the actors who appear in the play are first-year students.

The College Players is a student group at SUNY Delhi that makes dramatic presentations to the college and surrounding area to promote the artistic and technical areas of theater, while fostering development of self-confidence and discipline within its members.
