Despite some creative pandemic adjustments, there’ll be a lot of very eager and relieved students flocking back to Baldwin Wallace University’s Department of Theatre & Dance next fall, as it has announced a full 2021-22 season.
That season kicks off September 17/18 with a staged reading of a pair of plays by woman writers, with topics geared toward the lives and issues of college-age people. Lily Houghton’s Dear is about college rooms exploring their relationships after a friend goes missing. Annie Baker’s Aliens revolves around a couple of pretentiously “intellectual” young men in a coffee shop and their encounter with a high school student.
That’ll be followed later in September by the first Mainstage production, Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The season features more than a dozen productions ranging from workshopped to fully staged, both new works and classics, including Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and a radio play version of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches.
