The UNC Greensboro School of Theatre, building on a successful first-of-its-kind virtual season in the fall, is proud to present a new slate of digitally streamed offerings for the spring 2021 season.
Leading off the spring season is “Saint Joan”, streaming on-demand Mar. 18-20. George Bernard Shaw’s classic retelling of the story of Joan of Arc and her eventual death remains timely as women continue to be treated skeptically when the time comes to speak truth to power.
This semester’s MFA Directing and Theatre for Youth candidate one-acts are divided into two evenings: TYA candidate plays “Round Pegs, Square Pegs” and “Where Words Once Were” will stream Apr. 1-3, and Directing candidate plays “The World on a Hill” and “Oral History Project” will stream Apr. 8-10.
Following that, the Musical Theatre program will present the “Spartan New Musicals: Two World Premiere Musical Short Films“. Streaming Apr. 22-24, this double-bill features “Flatbush Avenue”, with music, lyrics, and book by Madeline Myers, and “Radio: A Musical Theatre Ghost Story”, with music and lyrics by Murphy Taylor Smith and book by Emerson Mae Smith.
Concluding the spring slate is Naomi Izuka’s “Polaroid Stories”, a reimagining of Greek mythology and mythological figures through the lens of street youth on an abandoned pier somewhere on the edge of the city, which streams Apr. 29 – May 1.
