The Amateurs at Hofstra University Joan and Donald Schaeffer Black Box Theater

by Jordan Harrison
Directed by Christopher Dippel

An intrepid troupe of pageant players races across medieval Europe, struggling to outrun the Black Death. The arrival of a mysterious outsider sends Hollis, the leading lady, in search of answers that can only be found off-script. This wildly inventive and funny new work examines the evolution of human creativity in a dark age: When does a crisis destroy us, and when does it open new frontiers?
