Festival Guest Respondents Roundtable

Due to Hollins University's Culture of Care protocols regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, all audience members will be required to show proof of full vaccination (either two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson) and at least one booster AT THE DOOR to attend a performance. Everyone is also required to wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth at all times while in the theatre.

Going back to 2009, we have been presenting original work by our students in front of a live audience comprised of other students, local audiences, and guest respondents from around the country. On Sunday, after the final staged reading, we provide an opportunity for each of the guest respondents to introduce themselves, talk a little bit about their own work, and reflect on their observations of the weekend as a whole. There may be a chance for the public to ask questions or give their own feedback on the event, but the focus will be the perspective of our guests on new play development, partnerships between academic and professional theatres, and current trends in approaches to new work rather than further feedback on individual readings from the Festival.

2022 GUEST RESPONDENTS:
Meredith Dayna Cope-Levy, Susan E. Evans, Jonathan G Galvez, Taylor Gruenloh, Bernadette BJ Lark, Clyde Santana, Neil David Seibel, E.B. Smith, Elena Velasco, Dwayne Yancey
