WHAT IS SSE?

In the Shakespeare & Performance graduate program at Mary Baldwin University, the final academic year is structured around a cohort building and running a theatre company, producing a season of plays and staged readings, and finally a practitioner-centered thesis. Streetlight Shakespeare Ensemble was born 4:04pm on May 10th, 2024 as the enthusiastic theatre company of my MFA cohort. The purpose: create multi-hyphenate artists with strong collaborative spirits.

"The production ultimately showed Emilia and the Daughter finding ways of reconciling their lack of agency with their experience of impossible choice. In this, they were juxtaposed with the three queens, whose choric presence (with Parlett, Raube-Wilson, and Bolon doubling as countrymen, knights, friends of the Jailer, and the gods) evoked a fixed point of certainty. The stillness and surety of the queens as they petitioned Theseus and then mourned their losses offered a sense of purpose that both Emilia and the Daughter had to then fight for in their own ways."

"This did mean that Roselene and Bolon had a lot to carry as they were reintroduced for the exposition-heavy finale, which took place at the point of Arbaces’ lightsabre. Gobrius was made up of equal parts sass and dignity as he and Arbaces paced around one another in long circles; here, the slow pace was absolutely essential as Gobrius hinted twice at the coming revelation before finally standing to plainly say “I am your father”, a line which brought an immediate ovation and at least some of the audience leaping to their feet."
