After three years of intense training and creative exploration, eight MFA Performance & Pedagogy students take the stage with bold, original solo performances—each one entirely self-written, designed, directed, and performed.
This is their grand finale. Raw. Personal. Unforgettable.
THE MONODRAMAS
|
Amanda’s Memories: A Mother’s Journey |
Reimagining an often-misunderstood character, Conner delves into Amanda Wingfield’s life before The Glass Menagerie, weaving historical context with hidden recollections to illuminate the joys and sorrows of motherhood in the early to mid-1900s. |
|
Blue Roses, Reimagined |
Blue Roses, Reimagined picks up where The Glass Menagerie leaves off, reframing Tennessee Williams’ classic character, Laura Wingfield, as she learns to speak, work, and survive on her own terms. |
|
Alt of Destiny |
In a dystopian future where a theme park controls the last clean resources and a deadly miasma divides the privileged from the impoverished, a woman battles illness while uncovering its transformative effects. |
|
Big Eyes: We Still Here |
Both a love a letter and a goodbye to the city she will never see the same again, Big Eyes, We Still Here uses Cajun and Creole storytelling to trace a woman’s search for identity, from the carelessness of girlhood to the woman forged by the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina. |
|
Is That Entertaining Yet? |
While waiting for a telehealth therapy session, Zach confronts existential questions and personal struggles in a jukebox musical monodrama featuring music by AJR, exploring what it means to grow up disillusioned in the 21st century. |
|
Sweet Car(e)l(y)ne: Works in Progress |
Sweet Car(e)l(y)ne: Works in Progress is a comedic exploration of the pieces of ourselves that we are given, those that we lose, and the ones that we choose to hold onto. |
|
Back to Her: Reconstruction after Demolition |
Celebrating identity, healing, and rebirth, Tayler Irene Robertson rebuilds herself from loss, inspired by the Black women who raised her. |
|
Moving: A Black Woman’s Love Story |
Katherine, a young Black woman, is moving. Grappling with her past, she processes love, joy, heartbreak, and grief while yearning for the future. |
