InFocus OUTDOORS:  the HAYWAGON STAGE

For the 2018-19 season, the Theatre Company is changing its format.  Instead of producing all of our projects in the Arena Theater, we are adding an outdoor performance venue:  the HAYWAGON STAGE.  A wide variety of events will happen at this new, temporary space:  concerts, performance art installations, social gatherings, micro-plays and more.  Many will POP-UP as a surprise!  All of the events—no matter the style or artistic medium—will deal with a central theme: the College’s annual IN-Focus theme, which for 2018-19 is “War, Peace-Building, and the Just Society.” Departments from across campus will be contributing to the activities on the HAYWAGON STAGE, so it is sure to be a diverse line-up of events.  And the stage itself—built on an old hay wagon—will be transforming over the course of the year. Be sure to stop by the HAYWAGON STAGE often.  You never know what might pop up!

LOCATION: the academic quad, across from Reeves Library

TIMES: TBA—check website  for updates

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

By Tom Stoppard

Directed by Kayleigh Ficarra

“What if we are all just characters in a play?” In this absurdist tragicomedy from Tom Stoppard, featuring themes of existence and free will, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern ask a lot of questions… but that one always seems to elude them. This play depicts the events of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” from the point of view of two of its minor characters as they wrestle with life’s great questions (meaning of life, and such), and more basic questions (“Rosencrantz?” “Guildenstern?” Which one of us is which?) Experience with Shakespeare optional.
