The theatre arts department at Marymount Manhattan presents an interdisciplinary dialogue series that invites students, faculty and the general public to explore MMC’s fall theatre productions Reckless, Geography of a Horse Dreamer, and The Bald Soprano. The first dialogue, “Bending Reality: Escapism, Pop Culture, and Fantasy in Reckless” is scheduled on Monday, September 13 in the Theresa Lang Theatre. This conversation will focus on ways escapism, popular culture, and fantasy interact in Reckless and how the production’s design team will translate those concepts to the stage. Participants include Rob Dutiel, M.F.A., associate professor of theatre arts and set designer for Reckless; Gretchen Engle, theatre arts major and lighting designer for Reckless; Nicole Given, theatre arts major, dramaturg and assistant director on Reckless; David Linton, Ph.D., professor of communication arts); and Rocco DiSanti, projection designer for Reckless. Each dialogue session begins at 7:15 p.m., and no reservations are required.
