WELCOME The School of Theatre, Television, and Film welcomes you to our production of Two Lakes, Two Rivers.

For us, this is a historic and momentous production. It is our first School production during a pandemic. Initially, the thought of such a venture appeared too daunting and totally impossible given our new reality of face-masks and distancing. The inappropriateness and health risks posed by physical contact and large gatherings goes against every fiber of our Performing Arts training and enterprise. But then, my indefectible colleagues never for one moment considered the prospect that art would surrender to a pandemic. They dug deeper and by sheer will and determination have— (with the generous assistance of our College Dean, Dr. Peggy Shannon) migrated to the Virtual platform. At this point in time, as humanity straddles through the ‘tridermic’ of Covid 19, racial upheavals, and a massive economic downturn; our entire TTF family has come together, joining minds, hands and spirits to continually address the human condition. We present to you our 20/21 season.

Wishing you all continued joy, health and safety. Please enjoy the production.

Niyi Coker, Jr., Director School of Theatre, Television, and Film

A note about our Zoom production: Two Lakes, Two Rivers was originally intended to have its world premiere in

SDSU’s Experimental Theatre on campus this Fall. Instead, you are meeting this complex and important play here, in the Zoom space. Our company of theatre artists have come to consider this a liminal space; a performance space in the “between” —not theatre, not television, not film. Most assuredly a performance space, a theatrical space, very experimental and very much alive. All eight of our performances are live in the Zoom room with theatrical designs (scenic, lighting, costume, sound) designed for both the Experimental Theatre “production” and the actual Zoom production; each design informing the other in ways we could not have predicted. You will see the Zoom production designs as you watch the play. You can see more of the Experimental Theatre designs and read about how each designer made the transition to the Zoom space on our show’s website. The work on the part of the student performers, designers, the entire production team, and all of the advising faculty has been tremendous. I can’t say enough about the adventurous spirit, patience, and generosity of the entire group. And thanks to each YOU for taking part in the School of Theatre, Television, and Film’s first-ever live virtual production. Enjoy the show!

Dani has directed professionally with such companies as Mark Taper Forum, Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles, Cornerstone Theatre Company, Native Voices at the Autry, and Indiana Repertory Theatre.

She created the Coming Up Taller Award-winning Will Power to Youth program in Los Angeles and has engaged work that uses theatre to forge alliances with the Arab-speaking world. Her play Broad Canvas premiered at the 26th Annual Arab Theatre Festival in Casablanca, Morocco.

Her peer-reviewed journal publications include: Ubiquity, Theatre Topics Journal, Reclaiming Children and Youth, and Ecumenica.

Dramaturg’s Note On our website, you can find a comprehensive dramaturgical guide to understanding Two Lakes, Two Rivers. The information that I have compiled as dramaturg can help you pull deeper meanings from the plot, connect the play’s story to national statistics and personal experiences from survivors of sexual assault, and begin to understand what the reality is for women who have been raped, especially those who were raped while under the influence of drugs and alcohol, much like our play’s main character.

The dramaturgical website also includes research and content originally presented to the play’s actors and designers during the early days of the production as a resource to inform their work. While cultivating this dramaturgical research and content for actors and designers, I began with researching the meaning of themes and the definitions of many important terms that are relevant to this play. The key terms included: sexual assault, rape, sexual harassment, and sexual consent.

Actors and designers were also given information on the roles of perpetrators, victims/survivors, and bystanders of sexual assault, which included statistics as well as stories, articles, and interviews from real life. I also have included the article that inspired Laura Jacqmin to write this play, as it gives insight into her thought process of establishing the play’s setting and focus on male college students’ drownings during a particularly harsh Midwestern winter.

The play’s text is made up of many layers. Its plot is written in a nonlinear fashion as it reflects Bonnie’s traumatized psychological state as she, her boyfriend Peter, and their mutual friend Nick experience the events leading up to the rape, the rape itself, and its aftermath. I have included a timeline of events to assist the audience in following the events of the play. Designer renderings have also been included on the website, and will give the audience insight into the designers’ processes of transitioning from a traditionally staged production to one produced online due to COVID-19. There, you will be able to explore their design renderings and read their commentary on the creative process. Finally, on our site, you will find psychological resources that all are welcome to utilize during and after attending Two Lakes, Two Rivers.

Although we provide trigger warnings before the show, we hope that if audience members find they are negatively affected by its events and themes, they will be able to easily access these resources (which include links to mental health organizations and hotlines that connect

callers to trained operators). We understand that sexual assault is a serious issue and that its effects are damaging. Please know that you are supported and that your voices are valid and heard.

Although this play has been previously workshopped and featured in staged readings across the United States, San Diego State University is producing the first worldwide stage premiere of Two Lakes, Two Rivers.

We are thrilled and honored to be presenting the debut of this very important play. Thank you for attending and please enjoy the show!

—Emily Sapp, Dramaturg

Dramaturg EMILY SAPP Emily Sapp is a graduate student in the Department of Women’s Studies at SDSU. Her research interests include: feminist theatre, feminist dramaturgy, and sexual violence against female-identifying people. She is originally from Arizona and completed her bachelor’s degree in theatre at Arizona State University.

As the dramaturg for Two Lakes, Two Rivers, she helped to compile research material for actors, designers, and audiences; she also assisted in creating the dramaturgical website for the play. You will be able to see Emily’s work on the SDSU-theatre.org website and meet her at post-show conversations where the audience will be able to ask questions about the creative and dramaturgical process behind Two Lakes, Two Rivers, and to learn more about its important themes like sexual assault among college students.

Much Ado About Nothing

By William Shakespeare Directed by Randy Reinholz

Set in the mid 19th century, this production of Much Ado About Nothing, retains the comedy and love story of Shakespeare’s original text. The production, while deeply entertaining, looks at American history, through the microcosm of California history that was dramatically altered by the discovery of gold and the trans-continental railroad.

This period of California history, in tandem with SDSU’s practice of multicultural and nonbinary casting, provides unique insights to American power structures which were often grounded in prejudicial exclusion of people based on their race, gender, and social-economic class. These points of view conspired together to form barriers for many who sought “…life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Chess in Concert

Book and Lyrics by Tim Rice Composers Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus Directed by Stephen Brotebeck Music Direction by Robert Meffe

In collaboration with the School of Music and Dance, SDSU Symphony Orchestra and Concert Choirs.

“This highly acclaimed musical develops the ancient and distinguished game of chess into a metaphor for romantic rivalries and EastWest political intrigue. The principal pawns form a love triangle: the loutish American Grandmaster, the earnest Russian champion and the Hungarian-American female chess second, who arrives at the international championships with the American but falls for the Russian. From Tyrol to Thailand the players, lovers, politicians, CIA and KGB make their moves to the pulse of this monumental rock score.”

- Concord Theatricals

Feb. 12-14 & 17-21

Cloud 9

Experimental Theatre $20 General Admission $17 Students /Seniors

“Both parody and spoof of the Victorian Empire and its rigid attitudes, especially toward sex. There is Clive, a British functionary; his wife Betty (played by a man); their daughter Victoria (a rag doll); Clive’s friend Harry, an explorer; Mrs. Saunders, who runs about dressed in a riding habit; Clive’s son Edward, who still plays with dolls and is played by a woman; and Joshua, a native servant who knows exactly what is really going on. What really is going on is a marvelous send-up and a non-stop round-robin of sexual liaisons. All this time the natives are restless in the background. The second act shifts to London in 1980.

Except for the surviving characters, it is only twenty-five years later, and all those repressed sexual longings have evaporated, along with the Empire.”

- Samuel French LTD.

She Kills Monsters

Don Powell Stage $20 General Admission $17 Students /Seniors

“A comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games, She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly’s refuge. In this highoctane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.”

- Samuel French LTD.

7:00 p.m.

By Qui Nguyen Directed by Peter Cirino

Apr. 23-25 & May 1-2

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Don Powell Stage $20 General Admission $17 Students /Seniors

“This bee is one unforgettable experience. An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially madeup) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.”
