Dramaturgs Darci Ramirez and Andrew Elijah Schindler invited scholars from the BYU Region Department to join us in discussions about the Jesus Christ of Godspell. Multiple similar forums will be held in connection with this production.

Dr. Jason Combs, Dr. Mark Ellison, Dr. Joseph Spencer, and Dr. Matthew Grey join the panel to discuss various interpretations of Jesus Christ in the New Testament and portrayals of Christ in art throughout the centuries.

We have three additional forums coming up, and invite anyone to join us in the Mainstage Theatre on West Campus!

  • Saturday, March 18, 4:30 pm (immediately following the matinee performance.)
  • Saturday, March 25, 4:30 pm (immediately following the matinee performance.)
  • Thursday, March 30, 9:30 pm (immediately following the evening performance.)

Designing the Realism of 12 Angry Jurors

By Olivia Little

Before a show opens its doors to audiences, before there are costumes and props, before sets are built and actors are cast, it starts simply as an idea. This idea is known as the ‘director’s concept,’ which a director presents to the designers at the show’s first production meeting. After that, it is the designers’ job to transform that concept from an abstract idea to a physical manifestation that can be seen onstage.

Actor Help: Dramaturgy Website for 12 Angry Jurors

By Shelley Graham

One of the great things about working as a production dramaturg is the time spent in rehearsal working with the actors. For this production of 12 Angry Jurors, we spent quite a bit of time exploring the world of the play. To help the actors interact with the courtroom drama world of Boston in 1953, we created a dramaturgical website for the actors. We put a link to this website on QR codes that were printed and hung throughout the rehearsal space, so that the actors could have access to the website at any time.
