Upcoming Events

A Staged Reading of ‘The King of Spain’s Daughter’

Tuesday, April 16, 7 p.m.

Written by Irish playwright Teresa Deevy, “The King of Spain’s Daughter” was first performed at the Abbey Theater in Dublin in 1935.

This comedy-drama explores the plight of Annie Kinsella, a young woman who dreams of romance and adventure but finds herself living in a bleak world which offers her the unhappy choice of working in a factory or becoming someone’s wife, a prospect she finds equally oppressive. That is unless the devoted Jim Harris can prove to her that beneath his humble, homespun exterior, he is a man of deep and abiding passions.

For more information, call 203-582-3500.

Symphony Orchestra Spring Concert

Wednesday, April 24, 7 p.m.

The spring concert will feature more than 20 students who will perform a range of classical and contemporary styles of music.

The hour-long concert is free and open to the public.

Vesna Mehinovic, an adjunct professor in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts, is the director of the symphony orchestra.

For more information, call 203-582-8652.

“In theater, we teach that it’s not just the big moments that make life meaningful, but all of the small moments in between that make life truly special.”
