The UC San Diego Department of Theatre and Dance presents Town Hall by Caridad Svich and directed by Cambria Herrera.About the play: Town Hall is simultaneously an epic exploration and a plain old room to gather. Four actors playing searching characters, or maybe just themselves, guide us in dreaming. From the comfort of our own living rooms, the performers offer us brutally honest conversation, memories of joy, secrets of shame, challenging questions, and their heart songs to reimagine how we behave in the theatre and the world. During a pandemic, can we even acknowledge all the suffering occurring around the world? If we try, do we have any belief left in us to imagine a brighter future? Can we still dream? Can we begin to form a plan for a better world? Town Hall questions how we are us and how we can move forward after all thats happened.The performance dates for Town Hall are February 18th, 19th, and 20th at 7:30 pm PST. Performances will be presented live via Zoom. The Zoom roo

On Tuesday, Grayce Hoffman tried to log onto her Facebook page and discovered it was no longer there.
Not only her personal page, but also the pages for a small jewelry business and the theater company she co-founded, Paper Doll Ensemble. Hoffman reached out to the other co-founders, Amanda Jensen and Sara Vanasse, and learned they had also been scrubbed from the social media platform.
“I knew it couldn’t be a coincidence that all Paper Doll administrators had their personal accounts disabled,” said Hoffman. “Amanda suggested it may have been because we hosted this event about Trump and QAnon.”
