Faculty Host, Professor Maya E. Roth
After a disastrous first production, a fledgling theater company has decided to call it quits. But when the local librarian requests a new performance for Earth Day, the young artists have a decision to make, and questions abound: what’s the deal with this weird fish? Who built the room we’re standing in? Isn’t there supposed to be a storm tonight? Part scripted play, part guided introduction to devising methods, part environmental investigation, and part fill in the blank, To Tell a Story About the Earth prompts ensembles everywhere to create and share an original show about the natural world close to home.
This workshop showing is presented by the Georgetown Theater & Performance Studies program in the Department of Performing Arts. To Tell a Story About the Earth has been commissioned by Concord Theatricals and is being developed by LubDub Theatre Co.
