Wednesday Nov. 19: Free Dress Rehearsal Showing of Orlando

Black Box Theatre | 7:30-9 p.m.

Come for a special free showing of Black Box Theatre's presentation of Orlando! Orlando by Sarah Ruhl is a fantastical, theatrical journey that follows the immortal protagonist, Orlando, as they move through six centuries, searching for their true identity and purpose.  When we meet Orlando, he is a 16 year-old boy called to court to serve Elizabeth I. By the end of the play, Orlando has transformed into a woman of the 20th century, striving to make sense of our ever changing world. Orlando is adapted from the novel by Virginia Woolf. Although the novel was written almost 100 years ago, it continues to explore themes that resonate with our college and neighboring communities. These themes include family legacy, societal roles, and gender identity, emphasizing the importance of empathy and inclusivity.
