Measure for Measure: Spring Mainstage Play

Measure for Measure is an edgy, debate-worthy play where Shakespeare explores the paradoxical way that restrictive policies produce unintended results, often exactly the opposite of the results they were trying to produce. The main character, Isabella, faces impossible choices brought forth by leaders who enforce abstractions and allow double standards for themselves. Her conflict with Angelo leaves her brother's life hanging in the balance. It's a play concerned with purity, mercy, good social order, and the liberty of conscience.

Directors Lab: A Festival of Scenes

A festival of scenes from full-length plays, directed by students enrolled in THTR 313 Directing class. The festival features a diverse range of material and approaches that feature the exciting work of your directors and actors.

Our Town - Fall Mainstage Play

Our Town is a play that works to bring into relief the value of life through the small events and encounters of the everyday. There is a sobering simplicity or sincerity to the play which is augmented by its meta-theatrical and minimalist aesthetics. The fictional town of Grover’s Corner is represented on and through a nearly empty stage, no curtain nor scenery. For me, Wilder seeks to trace the forces of life beyond the brick and mortar which often remain the only testament of human living. In doing so, he validates the plain beauty and cyclerity of everyday life events.
