On The Concept Of The Face, Regarding The Son Of God, Office Of Arts + Cultural Programming, Peak Performances At Montclair State University

2012-2013 Exceptions Rule: No Compromise

Don’t miss the American premiere of one of the most controversial theater pieces to emerge from Europe in the past few years. A starkly wonderous invention of stagecraft, On the Concept of the Face, Regarding the Son of God questions the meaning of life through a realistic prism of faith and love. As an adult son copes with caring for his aging father, this ode to compassion implores the audience to experience the sacred nature of dignity gained through suffering. In a work both tender and provocative, Romeo Castellucci pushes the limits of stage expression, drawing parallels between the spritual …

A new chamber opera based on the life of renowned African-American artist Clementine Hunter, Zinnias is an intimate exploration of one of America’s greatest natural talents.

"The Invisible Foot" By Steve Taylor, Lee Devin

Theater Faculty Works

The Invisible Foot is wonderful! Very smart, dialogue I can hear in my mind’s ear, great ideas clearly and poetically presented. Growth as an addictive drug: outstanding. It is not, strictly speaking, a script to make into a play. It’s a Platonic Dialogue. And a damned good one.

Each festival displayed four primary struggles on the ongoing path towards commercial and artistic viability: the involvement and development of locally-developed, internal theatre companies versus the invitation and involvement of external theatrical companies from other cities; the decisions determining if and how productions are selected or filtered for the festivals; …
