Appoggiatura is a play about an American family finding itself by completely losing itself. Italy is a good place to do just that. The Hatlen Theater is wheelchair accessible and has the Assistive Listening System in place for patrons who are hard of hearing. Please call in advance to make arrangements (805) 893-3022 www.theaterdance.ucsb.edu In 2010 the UCSB Department of Theater and Dance formalized LAUNCH PAD, a residency and performance program at UCSB. This program arrived with Risa Brainin when she joined the faculty in 2004. This is the eighth new play that has been produced. Her experience as a director in regional theatres across the U.S. allowed her to create great working relationships with new American playwrights. This exciting initiative offers a professional playwright the chance to fully produce an original work with faculty members and guest artists in a safe environment with deeply engaged students who are hungry to learn how new plays are developed. Prominent writers who have participated in this process at UCSB include Lila Rose Kaplan, Barbara Lebow, Sarah Ruhl, John Walch, Beau Willimon, and Sheri Wilner. |
