Welcome to Our "Princess Academy"

By Janine Sobeck, dramaturg

Welcome to Princess Academy. My name is Janine Sobeck and I am the dramaturg on this exciting new adaption of Shannon Hale’s popular book. As we prepare for our May 29th opening, I will be posting the journey our cast and creative team have taken to transform this story from the page to stage. Stay tuned for insights into the adaption process, sneak peeks into the rehearsal room, a look at the work of our designers, and even an interview with award winning author Shannon Hale. I hope that you will follow along before joining us in the Pardoe Theatre.

A fan of the book? Let us know what your favorite parts or characters in the comments section below. Not familiar with the story of Princess Academy? Check out a brief synopsis (and even read the first chapter of the book) on Shannon Hale’s website Squeetus.

See you soon!

Sor Juana in Poetry and Letters

March 07, 2024 05:32 PM
Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz has sometimes been called "The Phoenix of America," as she is by far the most accomplished and globally read author to come out of the early Spanish-colonized Americas. Writing from New Spain (present day Mexico) , Sor Juana composed brilliant and biting poetry, wrote fiery letters in defense of her own creative spirit and the education of women, as well as dramas like the perfectly formed Spanish Golden Age style piece, House of Desires.
