Student thespians will take to the Robsham Theater Arts Center stage for live performances this semester. But instead of playing to a full house, their audiences will be virtual.
Among the productions is the premiere of a play conceived last fall by 2014 alumna Maggie Kearnan, which she wrote specifically for performance during the pandemic. Before last September, this play was not even a twinkle in her eye,” according its director, Professor of Theatre Scott T. Cummings.
“Building on the success of last semester’s productions both artistically and in terms of safety the Theatre Department is putting on four live productions this semester,” said Associate Professor of the Practice and Department Chair Luke Jorgensen.
