Cornish Alumni Make Waves at New York's Target Margin Theater Laboratory
Target Margin Theater of New York resurrected its popular laboratory series in November, with a three-week festival encompassing each and every one of Aristophanes' plays. Among the featured performances was The Name Means Public Spirited. Or, All Those Other Things written by Mallery Avidon, who graduated from the Cornish Theater Department in 2003. (more)
Based loosely on Aristophanes' Ecclesiazusae, the play featured a slew of performers and collaborators from the Cornish community including director Jake Hooker (TH 00), composers Brian Lawlor (MU 02) and Beck Henderer-Peña (MU 01), and lighting designer Tlaloc Lopez-Waterman (PP 01). Performers included Deanna Companion (TH 99) and Julia Sirna-Frist (TH 05). The series also featured an adaptation of Lysistrata written by F. Wolf Molitch (TH 01), directed by Sherrine Azab (TH 02), and performed by Amanda Capobianco (TH 01) and Josh Conkel (TH 03).
