2024-25 Season: Power, Perception, and Personal Politics

We view the world through our own lenses: magnified, polarized, and uniquely shaped. In a fraught electoral year unfolding in a divided country, how might theater invite us to think in more nuanced and historicized ways about politics and power? And how we cede, perceive, and own it? The three main stage plays this season invite consideration of how we imagine figures of “evil” outside of ourselves–witches, devils, strangers–yet fail to perceive the banality of evil nearby or within.

We sincerely hope that you will join us this 2024–25 season to celebrate the work of our students, their courage, and their engagement, their performance skills, and their valor.
