Mask Update

Hello all Theatre Students!

The pandemic years have presented a number of challenges -- and we must thank you for your flexibility, patience, and humor as we've pivoted and adjusted and made accommodations to keep everyone safe.

As you know, the campus-wide mandate has been adjusted somewhat, but many suggestions remain in place.

One of our biggest hopes is that we would be able to finish our season with live, unmasked performances.

Presently, we are planning to proceed with performing unmasked, following industry standards that have been employed on professional stages across the country: onstage will be unmasked; off stage, masked.

Rehearsals will be run along these parameters as well: 

When working, actors may occasionally remove masks. 

When not working, actors must remain masked.

We have arrived at this policy to avoid three possible scenarios:

1.) that a student gets ill and cannot participate in the show

2.) that enough students become infected so that we must return to masked performances

3.) that a number of cast members fall ill and we must cancel the production.

Please note that if a cast member wishes to remain masked for performance, they may do so.

We understand that performers and crew may well have courses in which being masked is optional. 

Our hope is that cast and crew of both Cabaret and House of Bernarda Alba make responsible choices so that we can have a straight-forward and healthy production week for both shows.

We are strongly encouraging mask-wearing in theatre classes, with the possible exception of people who are working and/or observing social distancing.

Thank you all so much and have a safe and happy weekend!

RI Shakespeare Rep -- Midsummer Night Production Info

Christin Goff, director of RI Shakespeare Rep (and guest director at RIC) has sent information about a RISR's summer production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", for any student who may be interested in participating:

First is a reading of the Midsummer Night's Dream script (just a read-through to hear the edits): 

Tuesday, 3/22, 7 pm. at Aldrich House, 110 Benevolent Street, Providence 

(According to Christin, any students who want some practice reading or listening to Shakespeare are welcome.) 

Second, they are accepting audition materials for this same production, now through April 15 (all parts open). 

**Our own Mak Holahan and alumnus Clay Thompson are working on this production! Yay!**

Many rehearsals will be online, especially in the beginning, with in-person rehearsals starting in late June. 

The production will play one weekend in mid August, outdoors, East side of Providence. 

Per Christin, this would be "a great way to get some experience with Shakespeare without an enormous amount of driving, production time, or class interruption!"   

Anyone interested can write to Christin at rishakespearerep@gmail.com
