About the Play:
This play with music will provide a unique opportunity for WCSU students to create a brand new topical piece designed specifically for a virtual medium. Through student collaboration with a guest director, playwright, and composer, a devised and site specific piece will result. Inspired by the theatrical processes made famous by the Joint Stock Theatre Company, this new work will bear the fruits of rigorous research, improvisation, and discussion surrounding a universal theme to be decided by all of the artists involved. Audiences can expect an experience entirely new and visceral as these artists come together for the first time to collaborate, explore, and create.

About New Works - New Voices:
New Works - New Voices is a virtual production series dedicated to amplifying the voices of marginalized and underrepresented playwrights and composers. This virtual series promises to not only provide meaningful performance, design, and technical opportunities for our students, but also to lift up the voices of writers and composers from diverse communities and populations.

The WCSU Department of Theatre Arts is dedicated to the safety of our students, and is leading the way in online production innovation. Each show will be rehearsed, performed, edited, and broadcast entirely online. Each show will have two performance dates as part of a 10-day-long virtual production festival, spanning from November 27th through December 6th.
