Dell’Arte’s Thesis Festival

What:

Join the graduating MFA students of Dell’Arte International’s School of Physical Theatre for three devised thesis projects that weave humor, absurdism, mythology, mask and music. The students of this esteemed program have been training at Dell’Arte together in ensemble-based physical theatre for the past three years.

Now, for their “final assignment” they will present original work of their own creation which they feel is important enough to put on stage as the culmination of their degree program. Each night all three works will be performed.

A Tuesday
Death has a name, and it’s Thanatio. A dark comedy in one-act. Starring Jai Lavette, Jaewook Shim, Kathryn Tabone.

Master of All Splendor an adaptation of Orpheus and Eurydice
One man’s journey to fight fate for his love with Chase Edmondson, Rosi Hughes, Erika Petersson, and Eleni Zaharopoulous. Directed by Claire Mannle

Land of Dreams
The story of two clowns searching for their desires while trapped in their dilemmas. As they journey to find a better life, they struggle to remain in each other’s company. A show for couples who drive each other crazy! Featuring William Neimar and Alice Nelson.

Don’t miss the chance to witness our original one-act plays by the theatre-makers of tomorrow.
