¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø

The latest additions to ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø’s rich literary history have hit bookstore shelves. Their authors join ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø notables, including Donna Tartt '86, Kiran Desai '93, Michael Pollan '76, ​Ann Goldstein '71, Anaïs Duplan '14, Anne Waldman '66, Cynthia Sweeney MFA '13, Jamie Quatro MFA '09, Amy Gerstler '01, Morgan Jerkins MFA '16, and Charles Bock '97.

¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College faculty are encouraged to follow their own interests and the interests of their students as they propose their classes. As a result, classes, as many as half of which are new each term, feature topics that are always reflecting new lines of inquiry.

¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College Drama Faculty Sherry Kramer released a new book, Writing for Stage and Screen: Creating a Perception Shift in the Audience, published by Methuen/Bloomsbury (UK) last month. We caught up with her to learn more.

At the start of Fall term, ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College students celebrated with Student Works, an annual showcase of projects done across disciplines—from poetry and play readings, to musical performances, genetics research, oral histories, and more.

While students embark on Field Work Term, an annual work-learning term during which students gain hands-on experience and test their classroom ideas in the world of work, ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø faculty, staff, and students offer their reading recommendations to keep everyone’s intellectual juices flowing wherever they are.

¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø Drama students presented a Zoom reading of Can't Weed All Just Get a Bong?, a modern-day Alice's Adventures in Wonderland adapted by Sonise Lumbaca '21.

Students from the course led by Dina Janis, Michael Giannitti, Sherry Kramer, Richard MacPike, and Jennifer Rohn present their original works of theater, online and on air. 

A public reading of the winning plays from Dorset Theatre Festival’s Jean E. Miller Young Playwrights Competition, which is supported by ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College faculty, students, and alumni, will be held on Friday, September 29 at 7 PM.

The winning plays from Dorset Theatre Festival’s Jean E. Miller Young Playwrights Competition, which is supported by ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College faculty, students, and alumni, will be performed on Wednesday, September 28, 6:30 p.m., at the Manchester Community Library. 

Sherry Kramer, faculty member in drama, was interviewed on WNPR's The Colin McEnroe Show about the alternative history class she teaches, and whether it’s possible that we can learn more about our present from a fictional past than we ever could from a history book.
