In November, Cathy Madden, principal lecturer, directed the collaborative theatre piece The Withing Project. Conceived by Seattle physician, composer, and musician Hope Wechkin, The Withing Project told the story of a cancer patient, her palliative care physician and a neuroscientist, each played by an actor, a musician, and a dancer, alongside a 20 member chorus and an instrumental quartet.
Performances took place at the Jones Playhouse and each of the actors were alumni of the School of Drama: Jonathan Shue (PATP '14), Yesenia Iglesias (PATP '14), and Sunam Ellis (PATP '15).
