WHY ENGAGE WITH THE ARTS

Adapted from “Learning Through the Arts” by Dee Dickinson

• The arts provide opportunities for expression—bringing the innerworkings of ourselves out into the world around us.

• The arts give us a language that all people can speak, connectingus culturally and socially by breaking down the barriers ofeconomics and education.

• The arts allow us to learn about and appreciate other cultures.

• The arts provide the means for everyone to learn, improvingacademic achievement through test scores, and enhancing socialskills as well as critical and creative thinking.

• The arts make it possible to use personal strengths in meaningfulways, allowing bridges to understanding difficult abstractions.

Learning to trust and develop friendships while engaged in creativity brings the connection down to one-on-one and allows the larger community to gather and experience the arts together.

Welcome to College Theater at the MACFrom the inception of planning College Theater productions, each season is built with the idea that both escapism and engagement theater are important for students to experience and our audiences to enjoy. Escapism theater allows us to escape from our daily turmoil and daily life, offering pure entertainment. Engagement theater focuses on the human condition and the burning quest for a solution—it is theater we do not easily forget and that changes us in some way, forever.

The mission of both escapism and engagement theater is to expose everyone to the great theater of the past as well as important theater of today. We’ve chosen an eclectic season including both escapism and engagement theater, culled after considering countless titles and varied genres. Above all, we’re most interested in training our students as artists, both on the stage and behind the curtain, engaging with students and community in our audience, as well. That is the power of live theater, which does not exist except in this live, ephemeral moment—it is an art that celebrates interaction—on stage, but also between stage and audience.

The 2017–2018 College Theater season is a perfect example of this exciting mix: These Shining Lives, Captain Blood, Much Ado About Nothing and The Diary of Anne Frank.

“I regard the theater as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.”

—Thornton Wilder, Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright and novelist

Thank you so much for supporting the voices of our talented students and power of live theater. We hope you join us again and again.

Special Thanks to Professors Chris Goergen, Richard Jarmin, Lee R. Kesselmanand Christine Monnier for sharing their talents and expertise with the production.

“It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart ... when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more”

Anne Frank — July 15, 1944

Wendy Kesselman’s ‘new’ adaptation was nominated for a Tony award when it first opened on Broadway. Her adaptation included information from the re-release of Anne’s diary, which had been edited by Otto Frank and the publishers in 1947. Indeed, it is estimated that the re-release of Anne’s diary, in 1991, included an additional 30 percent of her original thoughts—largely about ‘coming of age’ and passages where she was critical of her mother.

The newly released material allowed the inclusion of more of Anne Frank’s original text in the script. In reading and working on this script, it feels to me that it creates a more complete voice for Anne, but also for the other characters. The effect seems to be a glimpse into the horror of the Holocaust, and it results in a powerful, moving tribute to the human spirit and hope.
