THTR 091 Information -- New Deadline for Materials

VIDEO SUBMISSIONS FOR THTR 091/JURIES ARE DUE BY:

 

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2026** 

(**Yes, the deadline is extended by a week.)

This is information about THTR 091 and the end-of-semester juries. This information has already been disseminated, but here it is all in one post -- including the monologue assignment for all Freshmen:

What are the juries?

At the end of each semester, students concentrating in Performance, Musical Theatre, and General Theatre with a Performance Concentration must complete an assignment (performing and filming monologues or songs) and then have a short meeting with Casey Seymour Kim by the end of the semester. 

When are they?

Each student has been given an assigned time and day; it is listed in the 091 syllabus handed out at the first general meeting.

If you do not see your name on the list, or are not sure what your assigned time/day is, just let us know and we'll either tell you or figure out a time for you. 

Where are they?

The meetings will be in the BABS (Billie Ann Burell Studio) -- the studio space that is next to the elevator in the Nazarian Center, around the corner of the dance studio and vending machines. Theatre performance classes are held there.

What do I need to do/What is my assignment?

Check the THTR 091 syllabus to confirm what is specifically asked of you for this semester.

Special Note to All Musical Theatre, Performance, and General Theatre Freshman: In your first semester, everyone is assigned the same monologue, which is printed down below. (If you are a General Theatre major with a Technical Design Concentration, this does not apply to you).

1. Film yourself performing your specified material.

2. Upload the video to this padlet page, or send it to Casey Seymour Kim (casey.seymourkim@gmail.com or jwalrad1@ric.edu).

3. Please submit this by midterm -- October 23, 2026.

[Gentle Reminder: Part of being a theatre major is checking the RIC Callboard every week for announcements and information about auditions, workshops, talks, rehearsal times, etc.]

*******

Access the monologue for Freshmen, as well as a pdf of the short play at this link. It is very short.

*******

ASMs needed

We are looking for one more ASM for both Oklahoma! and Native Gardens.

If you're interested, please let Nicki (nshaw1@ric.edu) know! Thanks!

FAILURE: A LOVE STORY Program

 FAILURE: A Love Story Program

Come Be a Part of A Reading of Manifestos

 

COME BE A PART OF

A READING OF MANIFESTOS

What is this event?

Open Books Open Minds Event, inspired by this year's campus read Imagination: A Manifesto by Ruha Benjamin, is organizing a reading of important historical manifestos. Students will be taking turns reading portions of different documents on the steps of the Adams Library.

Look for the posters around campus -- it is next Wednesday (10/14) during Free Period (11:30am-2pm)

What is a manifesto?

It is a Call to Action. It is declaring one's values and voicing one's intention moving forward.

What role have they played in History?

A LOT:

The Declaration of Independence, the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments (women's rights), the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Black Panther 10-Point Program -- they are all manifestos that outline values and call on others to act to correct societal problems. There are also a number of manifestos in the Art World as well.

How to Participate or Support?

You can read a section of one of the manifestos if you want, or just come to listen. 

Free speech is vital to our society. In times when it has been under attack and thwarted, people have continued to speak their minds.

You can sign up to read in a couple of ways: 

        -- use the QR code on the OBOM posters that are around campus

        -- contact Janice Okoomian at jokoomian@ric.edu

        (you can probably also show up and volunteer in the moment!)

Spread the Word and We hope to see you there!

Spring Semester Classes Survey

 

Hello, Theatre Majors and Minors!

We are in the process of arranging Spring Semester 2027's classes.

We can only run classes that have a certain number of students who are enrolled, or if the students who are taking them are seniors who need it to graduate.  I am including below a link that asks about some specific course offerings. 

Please go to this link and complete the form/questionnaire by end of day, Thursday 10/8.

Survey for Spring 2027 Classes
