Send in the Playwrights!

October 22, 2019 12:00 AM
by Richelle Sutton, dramaturg It’s that time of year again! We are gearing up to bring you another fantastic Microburst festival! The playwrights and production crew have been working hard since April to develop and perform new plays for your enjoyment and consideration. (All six of the plays in this festival went through extensive script development over the summer before going into rehearsals this fall.) We are incredibly glad for the opportunity we have to produce new work by our very own students. So, to help everyone get excited for the new plays you are going to see, I have asked our fabulous playwrights to give you some information about themselves, their plays, and their Microburst experiences thus far. Here is a chance to get to know the people behind the plays! Get to Know the Playwright, Sophia Acedo Play Title A Better Brother

Dramaturg's Note for The Magic Flute

October 22, 2019 12:00 AM
"This is the problem with language, and this is what makes silent movies fun, because the connection with them, me or the audience is not with the language. There’s no question of interpretation of what we are saying it’s just about feeling. You create your own story.”
