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 Power of Words: Theatrical Language in Post-War Drama,” October 6, in the Regina Peruggi Room. Writers after the first and second World Wars—including nonsense writers, absurdists, surrealists, and many other artists—experimented with language as a means of challenging traditional notions of realism and rationality. Panelists will discuss such uses as they relate to our fall productions and other works of art. Participants include Carrie-Ann Biondi, Ph.D., assistant professor of philosophy; Hallie Cohen, M.F.A., associate professor of art; Peter Naccarato, Ph.D., associate professor of English and chair of the Division of Humanities; Sarah Simmons, theatre arts major and dramaturg on “A Bill for Bill.” Each dialogue session begins at 7:15 p.m. and no reservations are required.
