Texas Tech’s School of Theatre & Dance is excited to share with audiences, "The Threepenny Opera," a play with music based on John Gay’s "The Beggar’s Opera," by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.
Each fall for the past eleven years, graduate students in the School of Theatre & Dance are offered a class focused on the writing of playwright Tennessee Williams. No ordinary seminar, this class also takes students to the week-long Tennessee Williams Festival in Provincetown, MA where they see 8-10 plays and study under world-renowned scholars, providing students with myriad networking and professional development opportunities.
When Texas Tech advertised for a movement specialist on faculty, someone to bring non-western methods to the department, Staley highlighted his extensive Suzuki training and promoted it as an opportunity to share not only an eastern acting method but also a global one.
