THEATRE / DANCE PERFORMANCES Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury / Guest Directed by Dr. Ray Black / Studio Theatre March 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 7:30 p.m.; matinee March 2, 3, 2 p.m.

The 2019 Pulitzer Prize winning drama, Fairview is a candid examination of race in contemporary American society. In a well-off African American household reminiscent of TV sitcoms, a black family is preparing for grandma’s birthday. A group of white spectators comment on the scene. When the play reverses the positions between spectator and spectacle, however, the audience is invited to face our deep-seated prejudices, examine the white gaze, and play our parts in America’s story.

Our Town by Thornton Wilder / Directed by Wesley Longacre / University Theatre April 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 7:30 p.m.; matinees April 21, 28, 2 p.m.

This American classic won the Pulitzer Prize in 1938. Exploring timeless questions about the meaning of love, companionship, life and death, Our Town tells the story of the fictional American small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens. Using metatheatrical devices, Wilder’s play offers up a microcosm of the human life cycle for our reflection.

ON THE BRINK Reading Series / Large Acting Lab February 7, and March 6, 7:30 p.m.

The ON THE BRINK Reading Series is aimed at amplifying marginalized voices and exposing students to a diverse array of BIPOC, queer, and women artists from around the nation and the world. A collaboration of professional theatre artists, faculty members, current students and CSU alumni, On the Brink explores works representing a variety of underrepresented voices and perspectives.

Body/Speak / Co-directed by Susie Garifi and Julia Cooper / University Dance Theatre February 9, 10, 7:30 p.m.
