This is a capstone project organized by the following Theatre students:

Roya Amirsheybani, Lucy Bikahi, Erin Colville, and Ka'Nayah Landers-Daniels

The Capstone Project in Theatre takes place over a full academic year. In the Fall, students participated in the Capstone Project Roundtable, in which theatre majors and minors came together to craft a vision for both collective leadership of the Capstone performance, and individual goals for their own participation. This production is the realization of that collaboration. Each Capstone student has taken on a specific role or roles to help bring the vision to fruition, and numerous other students--majors, minors, and newcomers to the discipline--have also been our creative partners. This Spring, after the completion of the performances, each Capstone student will engage in thoughtful reflection about their process, achievements, and possible next steps as an artist.

Mission Statement: We are producing this Capstone Project in order to practice developing and staging pieces we are deeply passionate about. We seek to explore femininity through individual as well as communal theatrical experiences. We hope our audiences and collaborators see themselves in the final product. Our goal is to reclaim the narratives of how our resiliency is perceived. We will be holding three performances to demonstrate, to ourselves and concentric circles of community, the culmination of our shared efforts throughout the Capstone process. We’re here to TAKE UP SPACE!
