upcoming senior thesis show, STAGE CLUTTER created and performed by Taylor Tsiamas

at Seaver Theatre Courtyard
Friday April 19th at 10am & 11:30am
Saturday April 20th at 10am & 11:30am

“Stage Clutter” is a non-traditional, devised performance that explores accessibility in theater and questions the divide between “audience” and “performer”. It’s light and cheery (and a bit cheesy), and encourages the audience to interact!

see you there!!!!

upcoming senior thesis show, King Charles III by Mike Bartlett directed by Ethan Diaz

Saturday April 13th at 7pm
Sunday April 14th at 2pm

After years of yearning for the throne Charles is about to become king, where he faces a decision that will affect the very nature of democracy forever. This dissection of democracy and the antiquated institutions that control policy, King Charles III explores who really pulls the strings of the government, family, and ourselves.

be there or be squared!

upcoming senior thesis show, Be(Longing): An APIDA Artist Collective

Saturday April 13th at 1pm and 4pm at Pomona Pendleton Upper Dance Studio

Audiences should look forward to experiencing a unique form of theatre, with its multi-media and immersive approach. By making these kinds of spaces more accesible and collaborative, the show aims to push the boundaries of traditional art gallery spaces and expand upon the day-to-day understanding of theatre. This show will function more like an event, with immersive and interactive activites that inspire creativity, foster community-building, and prompt reflection and conversations around what makes you uniquely yourself! Not to mention, a music band of five will be giving their debut performance! 20 APIDA artists have been involved in this entire show process (anywhere from development to ex*****on), so come support these talented APIDA artists while enjoying some comfort food and boba from Norema (whose owners have shown unwavering support and personally support me in practicing my Mandarin)!

See you there!!!

Friday April 12th at 8pm
