This June, UO theater designers will be featured at the Prague Quadrennial. Held every four years in the Czech Republic and featuring thousands of theater designs from more than sixty participating countries, the competition is often considered to be the “Olympics for theater design.”
In addition to being one of sixteen programs to be selected for representation in the U.S. Schools of Scenography exhibit, the department is also sending designers at the faculty, graduate and undergraduate levels. Professor Alexandra Bonds’ designs from the University Theatre’s production of “Kafka’s Parables” will be featured in the national exhibit, which aims to represent each country’s best in professional and academic theater. MFA student Annelie Thurin was selected by a national panel of professionals for a scholarship from the U.S. Institute for Theatre Technology. Undergraduate Sarah Gahagan also received special funding from the Tobin Theatre Arts Fund to exhibit her stop-action animated film “tailleur.”
