The Maids by Jean Genet, translation by Martin Crimp

Two maids indulge in a delicious game of role-play as they plot the murder of their capricious mistress. As the stakes rise, their performance spirals into a ritual where adoration, hatred, sacrifice, and glory promise a grand spectacle of liberation. The Maids is a timely parable of the destructive desire to become those we idolize. 

Directed by Professor Claudio Medeiros. Senior work in acting by Zeph Santiago and Ryan Ulen.

Described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Our Town presents the small town of Grover’s Corners from 1901 – 1913. It’s three acts are, “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage” and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, the play depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die.
