THE FALLON THEATRE

From the Dean’s Desk Welcome to the 2016/17 Theatre Season at Florida State University. For 43 years, the School of Theatre at FSU has brought the thrill of live theatre to Tallahassee audiences, and if you have been with us before, you understand why our program has become one of the most renowned in the nation. You have seen students perform on this stage that went on to earn Broadway roles and others who now hold important leadership positions within the theatre community. Each and every one of our student actors – past and present – gain experience here at FSU that prepares them for a multitude of careers in theatre and beyond, and while the faculty and staff serve as their educators and mentors, your support by being here and playing the role of their audience, is equally important. I thank you for being a part of our theatre community and hope that you are enlightened and entertained by our performance today.

Peter Weishar Dean, College of Fine Arts

From the School of Theatre’s Executive Director

We at the School of Theatre are excited about the upcoming season and invite you to become a part of our journey. We are committed to a learning environment that builds on our rich past as it enters a new year – encouraging excellence, imagination, artistry, and leadership to empower our students to create the theatre of the future.

This year at the School of Theatre, we hope that you will take great pleasure in exploring the bounty of our upcoming season. Together, we will have the opportunity to investigate what kinds of armor we put on in hopes of surviving the world around us. How being ourselves can be the greatest gift we can give and how in the end, love really does conquer all.

Our ability to present theatre in meaningful ways depends on the deep and continued generosity of YOU – our patrons, donors, and community. It is fitting to take this moment to thank each of you for your varied and deep, individual connections and financial contributions to the School of Theatre. Thank you so much for being part of the arts in Tallahassee and especially with us here at the School of Theatre. We have prepared a feast and are pleased to welcome you, our guests. The curtain is going up and you will not want to miss a moment.

About the Patrons Association The Patrons Association was established to support the students, faculty, and staff at the School of Theatre by promoting activities that enrich the School and the cultural life of our community.

Founded in 1970, the Patrons Association and its 300 members provide a valuable link between the School and the community, and help to ensure the best possible theatrical entertainment for Tallahassee.

The Patrons Association provides support for student scholarships as well as valuable assistance to support performances and programs that enrich the lives of all students and community members.

This year, the Patrons Association raised over $38,000 towards student scholarships and recruitment. We believe that with your involvement, we can further enrich the lives of our students and community members by providing an outstanding theatre experience, community programming and outreach, student and faculty enhancement, increase national student recruitment efforts, and support visiting guest artists through Patron supported and sponsored annual fundraising efforts and events.

Patrons Scholar Spotlight: Haley Brown Haley Brown is a senior pursuing a double-major in Theatre and Studio Art, while working on a masters degree in K-12 Art Education. Haley hopes to inspire future artists as a teacher in Florida. Her credits include working as a scenic artist for every main stage performance since 2013, assistant paint charge for Cabaret, and paint charge for The Garden of Rikki Tikki Tavi. Haley also works in the Fine Arts Ticket Office as an agent and Event Supervisor.

Last semester, Haley studied abroad with The London Theatre Program. She saw two performances at the Globe Theatre and received the highest score possible on her Stage Combat test. The program opened up a world of ideas to integrate into her arts education and teaching.

Haley wants to say to the Patrons, “Thank you so much for your endless support of our program which makes The London Theatre Program possible.

This scholarship allowed me to see incredible productions, such as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Part One and Two) and No Mans Land.�
