Theatre and it's Response to the #Metoo Movement

Abstract

This Theatre and Performance senior project consisted of acting in the Fall 2018 Purchase Performance Lab in the short comedy, The Role of Della by John Wooten. The Role of Della is a short comedy about an actress who has her heart set on the role of Della, the lead, but she must convince a difficult director that she is right for the part. The project was directed by Alex Kaouris and was also Rachel Kingsland's senior project. The research for this project delved in to the theatre's reaction to the #Metoo movement, in plays, festivals, and organizationally.
