Lust Gluttony Greed, Abigail Adele Matthews Adler

Senior Projects Spring 2016

I make theater because it is social; a dialogical tool rooted in the interface between performer and audience. As an artist I seek community, a remedy for passivity, and movement between destruction and reification. I incorporate voice, text, sound, video, movement, politics, gender, spectacle, and tomfoolery. I believe in the necessity of others in process, practice, and performance, and I pursue joy in all I do.

This project is the product of surprise. In February 2015, the Theater Department announced that Senior Projects would need to be collaborative. In response to this challenge, the 2016 Theatre Makers met to figure …

Without Prospero: A Staged Reading And Continuation On Shakespeare's 'The Tempest', Samuel T. Robotham

Senior Projects Spring 2015

Without Prospero is a play I wrote over the course of my senior year. It culminated in a stylized staged reading in the Luma Theater at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts from March 27th to March 29th 2015. It featured Antonio Irizarry ’16, Max Green ’17, and Charlie Mai ’18. The play is a continuation on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, focusing on the character of Ariel just after the events of the play have concluded. Without Prospero explores power, loss, abandonment, and how we look at a servant/master relationship through the lens of traditional Shakespearean characters. The …

I'M Scared Of The Colors [Or At Least We Tried]: A Collaborative Theater Project, Marissa C. Shadburn

Senior Projects Spring 2015

Inspired by the history of the Berlin Wall, I’m Scared of the Colors [or At Least we Tried], is a collaborative theater project about the creative process, memory, history and love. My passions of working with people are always reflected in my art. I like to make pieces about communication and division, pieces about the relationships between people and how that is affected by modern societal constructions. In both my artistic work and my social work I hope to subvert normative expectations, while also challenging the boundaries of theater as an institution and as a genre. Through exploring and …

Laughter At Auschwitz: George Tabori’S “Theater Der Peinlichkeit” And “Vergangenheitsbewältigung” In Post-War Germany, Leonie F. Bell

Senior Projects Spring 2012

For his premiere of The Cannibals at the Berliner Schiller Theater in December of 1969, George Tabori had an escape car waiting just in case the German audience reacted poorly to his play. Not only was he bringing the first Holocaust play set at a concentration camp to the German stage, but it was extremely comedic in nature. Tabori’s Holocaust play was funny. This had never been done before, especially not by a Hungarian Jew who had lost most of his family in the Holocaust. No one knew how the German audience, especially the non-Jewish audience, would react. Tabori wanted …
