THEA 19
Williams on Stage: Workshopping an Original Play Winter 2020

This is not the current course catalog

Class Details

Denmark has “Hamlet.” New Orleans has “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Oklahoma has “Oklahoma!” But where is the play about Williams College? Where’s the dramatic work that explores the history, mythology, and identity of this special place? How do we dramatize pivotal moments through which Williams became itself, and the ways in which it both changes and remains constant? Students taking this Winter Study course will help workshop an original new play about Williams College past, developed with and directed by Professor Omar Sangare, and written by Ilya Khodosh ’08, who will be teaching THEA 214: Writing for Stage and Screen in the spring semester. Our work will culminate in a reading that may lead to a full production, coinciding with our campus-wide celebration of the 90th birthday of Stephen Sondheim ’50. Adjunct Instructor Bio: Ilya Khodosh ’08 received his D.F.A. from the Yale School of Drama. This spring, he will be teaching THEA 214 Writing for Stage and Screen.
