Fall 2025: Marta Becket, Save us All!
Directed by Associate Professor of Theater Katie Pearl
A new performance inspired by the life of Marta Becket—a Broadway dancer who left New York at the height of her career, moved into an empty Opera House in an abandoned desert town, painted an entire audience on its walls, and performed there for the next 40 years whether anyone was there to see her or not. This show will be created in rehearsal, taking inspiration from Marta’s life, Vaudeville performance, artistic obsession, using “getting lost” as a strategy for finding oneself, and dust devils.
“Is it eccentric to love your work so much that you would go anywhere in the world to do it?”

Spring 2026: The Crucible by Arthur Miller
Directed by Visiting Assistant Professor of Theater Alex Keegan
Selected by the team from THEA180: Reading Plays for Production—Conceiving for Performance.
A timely parable that exposes the devastating consequences of mass hysteria and the erosion of justice. Amidst the infamous Salem witch trials, accusations fly, moral lines blur, and a tight-knit community finds itself on edge. Arthur Miller’s investigation of groupthink, betrayal, and morality offers a searing critique of McCarthyism, serving as a stark and urgent warning for our times.
