Welcome to spring quarter! This month is the time for our undergraduates to shine. Many talented actors will take to the stage in Vaclav Havel's The Beggar's Opera, directed by guest artist Wilson Milam. Mr. Milam is a Tony-nominated director and new Artistic Associate at Seattle Repertory Theatre. This is an extraordinary opportunity for our students, who are currently in the midst of working through Havel's script line by line. We are excited, as well, to be able to shine the spotlight on several of our talented BA alumni, who have founded one of Seattle's newest theatre groups. The Horse In Motion will present its first production, Martin Crimp's Attempts on Her Life, April 12-27. More details below.
