Dylan Waite's THE SEANCE to Premiere at Sonoma State University, 3/7-30
Sonoma State University Department of Theatre Arts & Dance continues its "Water Works" performance season with the premiere of "The Séance", the first SSU student-written play featured in department's main season. "The Séance" by Dylan Waite will be directed by Jon Robin with dramaturgy by Celine Delcayre.
Sex, weed, and tacos abound in Fresno when Alex, a college student, comes to arid Fresno for the funeral of her sometime lover (also named Alex) and searches for a way to honor her memory. "The Séance" is an often comic mosaic of personalities who struggle against the harsh environment of a literal and spiritual drought.
Student playwright Dylan Waite's written works have been presented at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, Bay Area Playwrights Festival and Sonoma State University's "Super Mega Molten Hot Lava New Play Festival." Waite also created the "Midnight Theater" series presented at Sonoma State University.
