Speak Out On Stage, Sr.

by Steven Spotswood

Eulogy, a world premier play, was conceived by the young cast members, director, and playwright of the Speak-Out on Stage, Senior program of Imagination Stage. This play explores the effects that grief has on an individual as well as the society we live in. In the present, desperate to save her family from collapse following the sudden death of a child, a young daughter sets out to find a cure for grief. And in a future where grief has been eradicated, another young girl struggles to fulfill a grandmother's last wish. Separated by time, can they help each other find a way to save both of their families? This exciting new play, generated collaboratively by talented ensemble of eleven young artists, asks the question: What is it that allows us to heal and to move on family, friends, or grief it self?

Acting Theatre Conservatory

by Sharman Macdonald

The play centers around Rosaline, Juliet's cousin and Romeo's ex-flame. Tortured by the loss of her love, Rosaline has become a sullen, venomous woman. She actively seeks to be elected the 'Princess of Cats' and run the Capulet family. Meanwhile, the Capulets and Montagues have obeyed Prince Escalus and called a truce. The treaty quickly descends into a farce as both sides continue to rage against each other. Amid the turmoil more doomed love springs- between Benvolio Montague and Rosaline. Benvolio is warned by Valentine (Mercutio's twin brother) to stay away from her if he knows what's right. The climax of the play comes after Rosaline has succeeded Tybalt as the Princess of Cats and seeks to destroy her sworn enemies, the Montagues.
