Pomona College Theatre and Dance

Zoom performance of Isabelle Roger's Playwriting Senior Thesis went fabulously! Convivencia (world premiere)

New time for the Zoom performance for Isabelle Roger's senior playwriting thesis Convivencia. 5pm Pacific time. Email [email protected] for the link. April 19, 2020

Pomona College is going to online teaching and most faculty and staff are now working from home. The majority of students have returned home but a few are being housed with appropriate social distancing. Everyone is working together to get through this pandemic with a focus on safety but also on education. Be safe.

Our students are leaving campus for Spring Break and beyond. There will be online courses through the end of the semester. Our Studio Series and the Pomona Spring Dance Concer have been cancelled. The directors, stage manager, and actors of Pathos and Daphne's Dive have worked for weeks and months creating their shows. As have the dancers and choreographers. We have all benefitted from this process and learned much, though we won't get the joy of viewing the productions in our Allen and Seaver Theaters. Interesting times. Our students are exceptional!!

Macbeth has closed to huge success! And now we get serious about our brand new Studio Series - two senior major thesis directing projects in the Allen. This is our 4th mainstage production. Daphne's Dive by Quiara Alegría Hudes directed by Anaïs Gonzalez Nyberg in repertory with Zed Hopkin's devised piece Pathos. April 8 - 12, 2020.

Daphne's Dive Zoom Reading. Sunday, April 26th at 5pm PDT Register by contacting [email protected] Senior Thesis in Directing - Anaïs Gonzalez Nyberg
