Poor Clare by Chiara Attik

Directed by Madeline Fanton

Clare is just a regular noblewoman living in medieval Italy, trying out hairstyles and waiting to get married. Until a man named Francis starts ranting in the courtyard. Based on the real story of St Clare of Assisi, Poor Clare is a play about what happens when your eyes are opened to the injustice of the world around you, and you can’t look away.

Music Operas

Directed by Dr. Lin

The Telephone or L'amour a troi" by Gian Carlo Menotti is a short, one-act opera, sung in English (or French) that revolves around two characters.  Well, I guess that should be two characters and one very prominent piece of technology.  Lucy has just purchased her very own telephone.  She's so enthralled with her new toy and all that it can do (connect her with all of her friends and frenemies, give her the exact time of day, etc.) that she doesn't have time to listen to her boyfriend, Ben.  


"Gallantry" by Douglas Moore is also a short, one-act opera, sung in English. The stage is set as a television studio taping a typical afternoon drama. "Gallantry" - the name of the soap opera - has three main characters. Lola is a nurse preparing for another day of assisting the greatest surgeon in the world, Dr. Gregg. Though he's a handsome doctor, Lola is madly in love with her fiance, Arnold). 

January 19 & 21 at 7:30 pm, Porter Theatre

 

Romeo and Juliet 

Directed by John Blondell 

An immersive, site-specific, completely contemporary staging of Shakespeare’s breathtaking tragedy: In this performance, Shakespeare’s play is cut, refashioned, and refracted through a contemporary lens, using modern staging techniques to bring audiences directly into the beating heart of the play. Dance at a party. Watch a street brawl. Enter a tomb. It's Juliet and Romeo like you’ve never experienced it!
