Evelyn Winters, of Harrisville, was one of 22 SUNY Oneonta students involved in the Theatre Department's production of "Dead by Jack," a "devised theatre" performance depicting the lives of the five women who were Jack the Ripper.

Devised theatre is a method of creating theatre that originates from collaborative, often improvised, work by a performing ensemble. The actors, who were all SUNY Oneonta students, were in charge of coming up with their narratives, blocking and dramatic choices, and worked with the Theatre Department to develop the scenery and costumes for the show.

The production was directed by Kiara Pipino, associate professor of acting, directing and movement, and five performances were held from March 1 to 6. Winters, who is studying Theatre at SUNY Oneonta, played the role of Elizabeth.
