This was the right time for us to challenge our students and leaders by devising a piece that asks questions of ourselves, our audiences and give our leaders the important process of collaboration while creating.
This was a unique piece that used not only Shakespeare but also dance, musical theatre and poetry from Pedro Calderón de la Barca to share a relatable and for some a real eye opening experience of what it means to belong.

“I particularly loved the fact that (according to the program) more than half the cast didn’t speak English before the project. The performer’s integrity, concentration, and full-on commitment to the project gave every word the authority and clarity Shakespeare intended, but better yet, for the 21st-century listener.”
“Every step, every gesture, and even the slightest nuance was executed with lazar sharp confidence. Each one of the 36 performers carried the stage with pride either as a soloist or in the ensemble. There was always someone new to be engaged by as they covered the stage with powerful joy.”[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:left|color:%23ff9f40″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1523925262729{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2886,2891,2885,2889,2890,2892″ onclick=””][vc_custom_heading text=”” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55|text_align:right|color:%239dbe49|line_height:52px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1523927175997{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brownpapertickets.com%2Fevent%2F3365953||target:%20_blank|”][vc_custom_heading text=”SPECIAL THANKS TO:” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:left|color:%23ff9f40″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1520984704231{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2829,2831″ onclick=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
