Mallory Prucha and theater students bring human element with a touch of theatrics to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
The sound of pounding rain is relentless.
Shrieks accompany rolls of thunder.
Everywhere you look, there are open wounds, blood and hysterical patients of an imagined catastrophe.
It's Disaster Day 2024, hosted by Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center's (TTUHSC) Office of Interprofessional Education. Texas Tech University's School of Theatre & Dance has volunteered actors, makeup artists and costumers to create a simulation for TTUHSC, Angelo State University, and South Plains College students.
