较低深度系列 Offers Two Contemporary Readings This Spring at 罗耀拉大学

的 Department of 的atre Arts and Dance is pleased to present two new, contemporary offerings in its 较低深度系列, set to take place March 15-16 and April 5-6 in the Lower Depths 的ater at 罗耀拉大学.

Students will perform scripted readings of “Horse Girls,詹妮·瑞秋·韦纳(Jenny Rachel Weiner)著, and “A New Saint for a New World,——瑞恩·坎贝尔, 在学校是灵活的, 黑箱剧场, on the first floor of the Music/Communications Building.

“It’s a priority to me that we give theater students the chance to do the work,Helen Jaksch说, professor of practice in theater arts, noting that not every student can be cast every time in one of the school’s larger theater productions. “的re’s a role for everyone at Loyola. If you’re hungry and want to act, 设计, stage manage – we have that here.”

艾玛Schillage, a Loyola alum who recently obtained her MFA from Columbia University, is set to direct “Horse Girls,” which premiered in Chicago in 2013 and will run at Loyola from March 15-16. 的 one-act play centers 12-year-old Ashleigh, who runs the Lady Jean Ladies, an exclusive horse club in South Florida.

When Ashleigh’s family decides to sell its stables and kill its horses for their meat, the Ladies fall into crisis in this “dark comedy of middle school lies and deception,” according to Weiner’s description of the play.

In “A New Saint for a New World,” which will run April 5-6, God feels badly about what happened to Joan of Arc, who was burned at the stake at age 19, 所以他和她做了个交易. Joan can return to Earth but only under one condition: No more revolutions.

的 play “takes an irreverent look at the current state of human nature, spirituality and the place of faith in a broken world,” according to the Yale Cabaret, where the play premiered in 2014.

的 readings begin each night at 7:30 p.m., and are free and open to the public. No tickets are necessary.
