WHY ENGAGE WITH THE ARTS

Adapted from “Learning Through the Arts” by Dee Dickinson

• The arts provide opportunities for expression—bringing the innerworkings of ourselves out into the world around us.

• The arts give us a language that all people can speak, connectingus culturally and socially by breaking down the barriers ofeconomics and education.

• The arts allow us to learn about and appreciate other cultures.

• The arts provide the means for everyone to learn, improvingacademic achievement through test scores, and enhancing socialskills as well as critical and creative thinking.

• The arts make it possible to use personal strengths in meaningfulways, allowing bridges to understanding difficult abstractions.

Learning to trust and develop friendships while engaged in creativity brings the connection down to one-on-one and allows the larger community to gather and experience the arts together.

Welcome to College Theater at the MACFrom the inception of planning College Theater productions, each season is built with the idea that both escapism and engagement theater are important for students to experience and our audiences to enjoy. Escapism theater allows us to escape from our daily turmoil and daily life, offering pure entertainment. Engagement theater focuses on the human condition and the burning quest for a solution—it is theater we do not easily forget and that changes us in some way, forever.

The mission of both escapism and engagement theater is to expose everyone to the great theater of the past as well as important theater of today. We’ve chosen an eclectic season including both escapism and engagement theater, culled after considering countless titles and varied genres. Above all, we’re most interested in training our students as artists, both on the stage and behind the curtain, engaging with students and community in our audience, as well. That is the power of live theater, which does not exist except in this live, ephemeral moment—it is an art that celebrates interaction—on stage, but also between stage and audience.

The 2018–2019 College Theater season is a perfect example of this exciting mix: Curse of the Starving Class, A Christmas Carol, The Foreigner and 1984.

“I regard the theater as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.”

—Thornton Wilder, Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright and novelist

Thank you so much for supporting the voices of our talented students and power of live theater. We hope you join us again and again.

“Great theater is about challenging how we think and encouraging us to fantasize about a world we aspire to.”

Willem Dafoe renowned American actor

“If only I could tell you what an adventure I’ve been having… We’re making each other complete, and alive, and—oh, I can’t explain.” — Charlie, The Foreigner

The Foreigner is full of heart. Written by Larry Shue, from Glen Ellyn, it is truly an ensemble piece, which is a trademark for Shue’s writing. We empathize with most of the characters, and have strong emotional reactions to the others. The script has us rooting for the characters, and celebrating their differences.

The Foreigner earned two Obie Awards and two Outer Critics Circle as Best New American Play and Best Off-Broadway Production, and is a frequently produced script nationally and internationally.

Ultimately, the play seems to say we are all ‘foreigners,’ looking for a place to fit, to contribute, and to flourish.
