SUMMARY:Auditions:Pride & Prejudice Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Hello! \n\nThe RC Players is putting on a production of Pride and Prejudice adapted by Joseph Hanreddy and J.R. Sullivan this fall. No matter your level of acting experience\, we want to see YOU! For this show we will be practicing casting that is conscious of gender\, race\, and other aspects of identity (imagine: Bridgerton) so if you love Jane Austen or you love theater in ANY capacity\, then come audition for our show!!! \nAuditions will be held this weekend in East Quad in room 1505 from 5-8pm on Friday & 5-9pm on Saturday! \nIf you can’t make it in person then you can submit a self tape by 9:00pm on Saturday the 27th! \nNote: You are not required to use a British accent\, but we won’t stop you if you’re feeling extra enthusiastic! \nNot interested in acting but want to do some prod work?

With the family estate entailed away to their closest male cousin\, their only hope to advance in life is to find a rich and single man -- and one has just arrived in the form of the very handsome and very well-off Charles Bingley. The kindhearted and beautiful Jane seems poised to make a match\, but must contend with her overly zealous mother\, his snobbish sister\, and a slippery social ladder. And when Bingley's taciturn friend Fitzwilliam Darcy shows an interest in the opinionated and spirited Elizabeth\, the situation becomes more complicated than either of them expect.

SUMMARY:Performance:Day of Absence
DESCRIPTION:We would like to invite you to attend this semester’s Faculty Studio Production\, *Day of Absence* written by Douglas Turner Ward and directed by Antonio Disla.\n\nThis production reinterprets Douglas Turner Ward's 1965 satire through the lens of cyclical time\, showing that social progress is not always linear or assured. By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm

SUMMARY:Performance:She Loves Me at the Encore
DESCRIPTION:The Encore presents the University of Michigan’s renowned Department of Musical Theatre’s production of *She Loves Me*\, a romantic gem that inspired the 1990s Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks film\, *You’ve Got Mail*. Set in a 1930s European perfumery\, this effervescent musical follows two feuding shop clerks unaware they’re each other’s anonymous pen pals.

SUMMARY:Performance:Day of Absence
DESCRIPTION:We would like to invite you to attend this semester’s Faculty Studio Production\, *Day of Absence* written by Douglas Turner Ward and directed by Antonio Disla.\n\nThis production reinterprets Douglas Turner Ward's 1965 satire through the lens of cyclical time\, showing that social progress is not always linear or assured. By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm

SUMMARY:Performance:THE LONG FALL
DESCRIPTION:*You are falling\, but you never land.*\n\nTHE LONG FALL imagines a world suspended in contradiction – a space of constant motion where characters shift form\, time loops without resolution\, and realities collide. Inspired by the existential absurdity of being alive\, the failures of assigned roles\, and the blurred boundaries between play and performance\, the work explores the combustible territory between childhood imagination\, adult consequence\, and theatrical illusion.\n\nWhat does it mean when children play at war\, or love\, or death – enacting dramas they barely understand? And what happens when those same dramas become real\, lived\, or staged? Is the stage any less real than the battlefield\, the bedroom\, or the family dinner table? THE LONG FALL lives in this surreal overlap\, where innocence and impact are tangled\, where performance is both survival and surrender.\n\nSet against an original electronic score by Marshall Chadbourne\, the myth of the American mission – of family\, of purpose\, of safety – fractures. No promise can truly be kept. No victory comes without shadow. And still\, we try. We fail. We try again. Our lives tumble forward in the chaotic current of time\, and even as we fall through space\, we brazenly and optimistically reach for one another. These exquisite moments of connection\, caught between descent and delay\, are the flashes of meaning against all odds.\n\nMy process begins with the body. Behavior that rises into high physicality becomes a portal into the surreal\, emotional\, and mythic. The pressure between bodies becomes a kind of truth-teller. The audience is present – not just as observers\, but as witnesses\, co-dreamers\, and sometimes accomplices.\n\nCreation is collaborative\, volatile\, and alive. I bring movement\, text\, images\, themes\, and tasks\; the ensemble brings their interpretations – wild\, grounded\, broken\, ecstatic. We construct a world from fragments and contradictions. A world that drifts between war-torn realities and absurd dream-states. Where the nuclear family is both icon and ruin. Where love is earnest and unspeakable. Where we fail beautifully\, collapsing forward\, haunted and held.\n\nTHE LONG FALL does not seek to tell a linear story\, but to inhabit a state – a falling\, looping\, breaking\, trying. It is a meditation on fragile persistence\, on the way human beings continue inside impossible conditions. How even when the promise has been broken\, the mission has failed\, the family has splintered\, we keep playing. Over and over\, bending time into childlike loops: Are we there yet?\n\nCAST & COLLABORATORS\nConcept and Direction: Shannon Gillen\nChoreography: Jason Cianciulli and Shannon Gillen\, in collaboration with the performers\nChoreographic Assistant: Katherine Kiessling\nPerformance: Jason Cianciulli\, Tzveta Kassabova\, Katherine Kiessling\, and Samy Navarez\nGuest Performance: Ruby Clay\, Audrey De Guia\, Emerson Forbes\, Leah Kropp\, Rachel McNaughton\, Ava Menzel\, Melisa Orduna\, Olga Rabetskaya\, Jessica Serres\, Caitlyn Wade\, Angelica White\nSound Score: Marshall Chadbourne with voice over by Sasha Lipinski\nLighting Design: Jess Fialko\nSet Design: Jungah Han\nOriginal Text: Shannon Gillen with excerpts from Beckett's 'Happy Days'\nBackstage Operations Manager: Tiff Crutchfield

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Student Art Meetup: Rocky Horror Picture Show
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in going to an event on Halloween but you don't want to go alone? Are you someone who enjoys smaller groups to get to know people? Then our Art Meetup Events are the way to go! Join us on Halloween night for a shadow cast performance of Rocky Horror Picture Show put on by RC Players! Students will be performing the show in front of the screen while dancing and acting along with the iconic 1975 film. Dressing up in Rocky Horror-themed attire or wearing a Halloween costume is not required\, but definitely encouraged! \n\nWe will meet outside the Keene Theater in East Quad at 6 pm\, as there will likely be a line outside the theater before the show. Information on how to find the theater can be found here: https://lsa.umich.edu/rc/reserve-a-room-/the-keene-theater.html\n\nSpace is limited and registration is required to join the Art Meetup.\n\nContent advisory: Rocky Horror Picture Show is rated R. It includes nudity\, sex\, sexual coercion\, and violence. While a very important part of queer film history\, it also includes outdated language regarding trans identities\, which some may find triggering. This event involves audience participation and will be loud and interactive – earplugs will be provided to Meetup attendees!\n\nArt Meetups are student-led excursions to explore the arts on campus and in Ann Arbor - all while giving you a chance to meet your peers who share similar interests! From local artist markets to performances to hands on artmaking\, Art Meetups have something for all interests.

DESCRIPTION:Two award-winning Belgian mime and puppetry companies come together for this stunning visual performance combining puppetry\, video\, mime\, and clowning.\n\nSometime in the near future\, it is the end of the world as we know it. In their small city home\, a family is about to spend their Sunday together\, but the walls are shaking\, strong winds and torrential rain rage outside\, and the storm has only just begun. Amidst this climatic chaos\, the protagonists absurdly attempt to maintain a normal family life.\n\nMeanwhile\, somewhere else on the planet\, three traveling wildlife reporters are doing their best to document the apocalypse. With what little equipment they have\, they film three wild animals on the brink of extinction.\n\nBetween dreamlike fiction and stark reality\, Dimanche paints a witty and tender portrait of humanity surprised by the uncontrollable forces of nature\, observing the absurdity of keeping up appearances amidst an ecological collapse. “Meticulous scenes and beautiful theatrical effects create a surreal\, dreamlike world with an eye for detail. Dimanche is a dystopian parable about the climate\, yet a joy to behold.” (De Standaard\, Belgium)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Goldye di Shvartze Khaznte: Black Woman Cantor of the Harlem Renaissance Era
DESCRIPTION:Join in a conversation with Shahanna McKinney-Baldon moderated by Professor Bryan Roby\, on the story of Madame Goldye Steiner\, the trailblazing African-American vocalist of the Harlem Renaissance era whose career spanned vaudeville\, Yiddish theater\, early jazz\, and the “golden age” of Jewish cantorial singing\, or khazones. McKinney-Baldon's research uncovers a vital yet almost forgotten African-American and Jewish story\, and uses the lenses of Afrofuturism and Yiddish revivalism to focus a critical and timely discussion on voice\, individual and group identity\, and the role of the artist-philosopher in periods of political upheaval.\n\nHosted by The Network: Jewish People of Color of Greater Ann Arbor

SUMMARY:Performance:Latin@ Culture Show 2026
DESCRIPTION:Latinidad Sin Fronteras celebrates the constantly evolving and boundless tapestry of Latinidad\, identities which transcend physical borders\, language\, and generations. This production strives to honor our pasts\, uplift our present voices\, and imagine a collective future rooted in resilience\, joy\, and creativity.\n\nLCS 2026 will create a blend between heritage and futurism by taking a look at the stories\, music\, and traditions which have shaped us while simultaneously envisioning how Latinidad will continue to grow and transform itself in the near future. This theme recognizes that our identities are not restrictive. It does not follow a “one size fits all” model but rather\, encompasses a constellation of experiences and truths - ranging from the Afro-Latine and Queer identities to those of being first generation or indigenous - which are all connected and bridged through shared histories and dreams.\n\nLatinidad Sin Fronteras invites our community to feel\, remember\, and imagine together – to truly explore and understand what Latinidad means when it is sin fronteras and free to become and transcend to what we desire and make it to be.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Globalizing Chinese Theatre: Chinese Dramatists and Transnational Media Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/mRz1N\n\nDr. Zhao’s new project investigates the transnational engagements of Chinese dramatists\, actors\, and intellectuals with world theatre from the 1910s to the 1930s and illustrates how they significantly shaped the global perceptions of Chinese theatre. Through case studies of Chinese dramatists working in the United States\, France\, and Britain\, this talk will present how they articulated their own visions of Chinese theatre\, establishing it not as an exotic spectacle but as a site of theoretical experimentation and aesthetic authority. By re-centering Chinese agency within transnational theatre networks\, their work reframed Chinese theatre as a constitutive rather than derivative force in global theatre history and laid the groundwork for the forms and debates that continue to shape Chinese theatre today.\n   \n   Sophia Tingting Zhao (Ph.D.\, East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Stanford University) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures at Virginia Tech\, where she also serves as director of the Chinese program. Her research focuses on Chinese theatre and performance\, performance historiography\, and the intersections of literature\, gender\, urban space\, media\, and global modernity\, with particular emphasis on transnational Chinese theatre. She is the co-author of three scholarly books on Chinese theatre\, including two scholarly editions of traditional poetry on Chinese Kun opera and a scholarly edition of a sixteenth-century dramatic text.\n   \n   Her forthcoming monograph\, “Globalizing Chinese Theatre”《面向世界的中国戏剧》 (Fudan University Press\, 2026)\, examines how Chinese dramatists\, performers\, and intellectuals engaged transnationally with world theatre and reshaped global narratives of Chinese theatre between 1911 and 1949. She is also the author of Mei Lanfang and Gender Studies 《梅兰芳与女性文化研究》(Beijing Publishing House\, 2026)\, the first book-length gender analysis of female impersonation and theatrical stardom in twentieth-century Chinese theatre. Her article “Wang Guowei’s Weltanschauung: Chinese Theatre in the Age of Globalization” won the 2019 Wang Guowei Award for Academic Paper on Drama. Her scholarship on Mei Lanfang has also been recognized as Top-Ten Papers at the 1st\, 2nd\, and 7th Mei Lanfang Research Young Scholars Forums. Additional honors include the Emerging Scholar Award from the Association for Asian Performance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drama and Performance Interest Group
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: The event will now be entirely on Zoom\; please RSVP to receive the Zoom link: https://forms.gle/oNcLN7qMKYUZG2st8\n\nWe hope you will join us for an enriching presentation focused on technical\, practice-based aspects of drama and performance! Snacks will be served.\n\nProfessor Vincent's presentation will center on Moment Work\, a process of devising theatre pioneered by Tectonic Theatre Company\, based in New York City. Developed by theatre practitioners Moisés Kaufman and Barbara Pitts McAdams\, Moment Work is a collaborative\, bottom-up method for creating plays\, which involves breaking down stories into individual 'moments' (using all stage elements like light\, sound\, and props) and sequencing them to build a full narrative\, moving beyond traditional text-based playwriting. Moment Work can also be a method of reading and interpreting dramatic works.\n\nMichael Vincent (he/him) is Technical Director\, Program Administrator\, and Lecturer in Theatre Arts and Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Michael designs JHU Theatre's mainstage productions\, and oversees all technical aspects in Merrick Barn. Michael also works regularly in the professional theatres of Baltimore. He has recently served as set designer or Technical Director for ArtsCentric\, Fells Point Corner Theatre\, Strand Theatre\, and Baltimore Poet’s Theatre. At Hopkins he worked as Co-Director with John Astin for SUNDAY ON THE ROCKS in 2018\, as well Stage Manager\, Board Operator\, and other positions as needed. Michael is interested in all aspects of theatre and is grateful for continued opportunities to grow and explore the art form. He holds a BA in Political Science from JHU (2007) and an MFA in Theatre Arts from Towson University (2024).

SUMMARY:Performance:GATZ
DESCRIPTION:\"The most remarkable achievement in theater not only of this year\, but also of this decade.” (The New York Times)\n\nOne morning in the shabby office of a mysterious small business\, an employee finds a copy of The Great Gatsby in the clutter on his desk. He starts to read it out loud… and doesn’t stop. At first\, his coworkers hardly notice. But after a series of strange coincidences\, it’s no longer clear whether he’s reading the book or the book is transforming him.\n\nA century after the publication of The Great Gatsby and 20 years after its acclaimed off-Broadway run\, Elevator Repair Service’s GATZ comes to Ann Arbor following its sold-out run at New York’s Public Theater in November 2024. Told over a single 6½-hour production (plus dinner break)\, GATZ is not just a retelling of the Gatsby story\, but an enactment of the novel in which Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is cleverly delivered word for word. This literary tour-de-force by one of American theater’s most exciting and inventive companies is “strangely seductive\, often revelatory\, and altogether ingenious.” (Chicago Sun-Times)\n\nThis performance will take place in four sections with two 15-minute intermissions and a 90-minute dinner break (dinner not included in ticket price) for a total length of approximately eight hours. Information about dinner options will be provided closer to the performances.

SUMMARY:Performance:The NPC's Guide To Raising Your Party
DESCRIPTION:In the Kingdom of Storyn live the siblings Tem and Sys. The duo\, along with the rest of the people in town\, worship a god called PLAY-ER and follow rules written down in a magical book. It has been foretold that a band of heroes chosen by their god will come to slay the demon king who’s been terrorizing the land. The people of Storyn\, the NON PLAY-ER Chosen or NPC for short\, wait breathlessly for that day. \n\nWhen the heroes do arrive\, Tem — as the book professes — must guide them on their journey. However\, nothing can prepare Tem for what their chosen warriors truly are: a group unlike anything written down in their book. As the lines between what is “good” and “evil” begin to blur\, Tem grapples with the fact that maybe not everything is as black and white as their sacred book makes it out to be.

SUMMARY:Performance:Victors of Character: A Story of Loyalty\, Integrity\, and the Courage to Make a Difference 
DESCRIPTION:This fall\, Department of Theatre & Drama assistant professor Shavonne Coleman and a troupe of SMTD theatre & drama students are touring *Victors of Character*\, written by Allison Manville Metz\, to elementary and middle schools throughout the area. Audiences are invited to join Coleman and the company for a single public performance on North Campus.\n\n*Victors of Character: A Story of Loyalty\, Integrity\, and the Courage to Make a Difference* is adapted for the stage based on the 2016 documentary *Black and Blue* by Brian Kruger and Buddy Moorehouse. The play tells the story of the 1934 game between University of Michigan and Georgia Institute of Technology. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets agreed to play in Ann Arbor that season on the condition that the Wolverines could not play Willis Ward\, the team's only African-American player. \"Many of Ward's teammates were outraged when athletic officials at the University of Michigan agreed to the demand\,\" said Metz. \"The most outraged Wolverine was Ward's roommate\, a lineman from Grand Rapids named Gerald Ford.\" What does it mean to do the right thing when you feel the system around you is wrong?\n\nPerfect for families\, *Victors of Character* has a running time of about 35 minutes with a 15 minute talkback immediately following.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Jack Tamburri\nEsther van Zyl as Alma\nJoseph Horowitz as Gustav\n\n*Ninety minutes without intermission. There will also be a post-performance discussion.*\n\nGustav and Alma Mahler arrived in New York City in 1907. He had been invited to lead the Metropolitan Opera\; his glamorous wife accompanied him to the New World. His embattled American career places their legendary marriage in sharp relief. Nineteen years Gustav’s junior\, Alma was his constant companion and occasional soul-mate\, sometimes his muse\, always his caretaker\, a woman otherwise restless and unfulfilled. Her husband’s life was intensely interior\, sporadically alert to others’ needs and desires.\n\nHorowitz writes: “My play is based on my 2023 novel with the same name. Its central event is Alma’s affair with Walter Gropius and her wrenching decision to remain with Mahler. As *The Marriage* illuminates\, there are things to be learned about Gustav and Alma that cannot as readily be observed in Vienna or Budapest as in Manhattan. Mahler was a great personality and\, when circumstances permitted\, a great man. He arrived in America weakened and fatigued. His energy and idealism were aroused by the New World\, but fitfully – he remained a chronic outsider.”\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nJOSEPH HOROWITZ is an award-winning author\, concert producer\, film-maker\, and broadcaster. He is one of the most prominent and widely published writers on topics in American music. As an orchestral administrator and advisor\, he has been a pioneering force in the development of thematic programming and new concert formats. Horowitz’s most recent books include a novel\, *The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York*\, about which Clive Paget wrote in *Musical America*: “With his unparalleled knowledge of fin-de-siècle classical music in America\, Joseph Horowitz [has] brought us closer to Mahler and his wife Alma than any other author I have read. . . . At times\, your heart breaks for them both. . . . In Gustav and Alma Mahler\, Horowitz has created two of classical music’s most convincing fictional portraits.” Another Horowitz book\, *Dvorak’s Prophecy and the Vexed Fate of Black Classical Music*\, tells a story that “must be heard if classical music is to contribute to the national discussion on racial justice” (according to Mark Clague of the University of Michigan). A former *New York Times* music critic\, and Executive Director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra\, Horowitz works as an artistic consultant for orchestras throughout the US\, and also regularly produces 50-minute “More than Music” documentaries for National Public Radio.

SUMMARY:Performance:2 X 2 - dance\, storytelling and genre-defying performance
DESCRIPTION:Amy Chavasse (faculty\, Dance)\, Malcolm Tulip (faculty\, Theatre & Drama)\, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance major\, Anna Bodescu join together for an evening of storytelling\, movement\, and dance. Careening from acts boisterous and absurd to tributes reverent and tender\, the three works promise an unflinching examination of the human condition.\n\nPROGRAM\n\n*Little Charlotte the Round Ray* (premiered at the Disguise Festival\, Northampton\, MA\, May 2025)\n\nA cautionary tale\, told as speculative fiction in kaleidoscopic movement\, song and storytelling. It examines the desperation that can emerge from belief systems that elevate hysteria\, and wishful thinking. At its core\, this is a heartfelt homage to Charlotte.\n\n*Low Light* (premiered at the Beijing Dance Festival\, 2014)\n\nIn 1956\, Rachel Carson wrote a script for the popular TV show *Omnibus* called *Something About the Sky*. She hoped to challenge the \"sterile preoccupation with things artificial\" and question our \"alienation from our source of strength.” Our absolute and essential humanness calls out for a re-imagined vocabulary of encounters. This dance seeks to uncover how this looks and feels across an expanse of emotional latitude – the imaginary line that connects points across the surface of the earth. Geographical imagery provides a framework as the dancer moves inside a quivering\, episodic narrative.\n\n*deux dogtooth* (premiered at the Arthur Miller Theatre\, 2017)\n\nA duet for Tulip and Chavasse that uses misappropriation and agitprop in a tightly structured improvisation that relies on intricately timed textural layering\, gestures and humor. Obliquely referencing the 2009 film\, *Dogtooth* by Yorgos Lanthimos\, the action unfolds on and around a table\, two chairs and a thick shag rug.
