You are all invited to an Italian Theater Showcase!

THURSDAY, MAY 2 at 3:00 in B-4 DWINELLE

Directed by Annamaria Bellezza

The performance will be entirely in ITALIAN.

Please join us in supporting our students of Italian 102 (Power games in performance: from page to stage) as they present scenes from plays by Goldoni, Pirandello, Dario Fo/Franca Rame and others, followed by their original adaptations.

Some of the work presented quite a challenge linguistically and required a great deal of practice memorizing the parts and embodying the physical and emotional lives of the characters. As it was tradition during theater performances in Pirandello’s days, there will be a “suggeritore” (a prompter) sitting in the audience.

We hope to see you there and we thank you for your support. If you cannot make it yourself, send your students!

Vi aspettiamo!

The event is free.
