A call for further representation of artists of color, “finally” aims to explore the ideas of identity, acceptance, and belonging through a collection of short plays and monologues written by AAPI-playwrights and performed by an all Asian cast. Each piece in this socially-distanced performance not only tells a story, but brings to life the struggles of feeling different, alone, and the pressure of leaving behind a legacy. Sponsored by the Middlebury College Theatre Department.

Join Broadway and Regional Theatre Fight and Intimacy Directors, Michael Rossmy and Kelsey Rainwater for an introductory workshop in the pedagogy and practice of Intimacy for Stage and Film. In this workshop we will discuss the foundations of building a consent-run-room, the guideposts for approaching intimate work in the classroom and onstage, and group exercises to facilitate consent based choreography. Moderated by Michole Biancosino, Assistant Professor of Theatre. Open to students, faculty, and staff.

AUDITIONS: Looking for actors and backstage people for this independent senior project which aims to explore the ideas of identity, acceptance, and belonging. To create an opportunity for underrepresented actors in a COVID-safe platform, an entirely Asian American cast will perform this socially distant show live from the Hepburn Zoo(m) this November.

Casting 6-8 actors of mixed genders. All are encouraged to audition, please prepare a short monologue. Sides will be provided for callbacks.

Seven Trump accusers take the stage, creating exquisite, unexpected windows into the lives of women who were previously reduced to a single trauma.

Cocreated by Kate Pines ’03 and Sharyn Rothstein, directed by Cheryl Faraone. Free; donations welcome to benefit WomenSafe
