About the Event
Second-year students take on House of Desires, A Doll's House, Taming of the Shrew, and Medea, reimagining full plays as sharp, 15–25 minute ensemble productions. Working in casts of 2–7, they edit and stage the text to create bold interpretations that speak to contemporary audiences, from faithful renderings to radical reworkings. Each performance reflects rigorous text work, research and rehearsal, with actors crafting detailed character journeys and companies making strong conceptual and aesthetic choices.
