Theatre is EVERYWHERE!
While interning at The Viola Project, I’m also beginning my student teaching at a High School in the Chicagoland area. My awesome cooperating teacher reminded me of a book I had in my collection by a man named Michael Rohd. He wrote the book “Theatre for Community, Conflict and Dialogue” and has this amazing Theatre Company in Portland called Sojourn Theatre. I had the opportunity to witness his keynote speech at the Illinois Theatre Association conference this year, and was wowed. He mentioned this project he had done in the Summer of 2007, and I was delighted to find a YouTube video. Based loosely on a Chinese fairytale, Sojourn theatre uses all parts of a Subaru dealership in the tale of Lucy, who is given riches by the gods to reward and test her goodness. In this modern adaptation, Lucy is rewarded a Subaru dealership. What happens to Lucy? Find out in this video and let me know what you think!
Watch ‘Good’ by Sojourn Theatre and Michael Rohd!
