Fall 2020: New Works-New Voices
SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT!
The WCSU Department of Theatre Arts is thrilled to announce our Fall 2020 season. New Works – New Voices is a virtual production series dedicated to amplifying the voices of marginalized and underrepresented playwrights and composers. This virtual series promises to not only provide meaningful performance, design, and technical opportunities for our students, but also to lift up the voices of writers and composers from diverse communities and populations.
The WCSU Department of Theatre Arts is dedicated to the safety of our students, and is leading the way in online production innovation. Each show will be rehearsed, performed, edited, and broadcast entirely online. Each show will have two performance dates as part of a 10-day-long virtual production festival, spanning from November 27th through December 6th.
The five shows that will be featured in New Works – New Voices are:
DOGNAP ON DEKALB, written by Benjamin Colón. Directed by Sal Trapani. Streaming on 11/28 and 12/2.
IN THE OPEN, written by Mona Mansour. Directed by Kimille Howard. Streaming on 11/30 and 12/4.
THE RADIUM GIRLS: A JAW-DROPPING NEW MUSICAL, music by Amanda D’Archangelis, lyrics by Sami Horneff, book by Lisa Mongillo. Directed by Tim Howard. Streaming on 11/27 and 12/6.
