Torba performance
|
Torba, written and directed by EMU theater professor Ingrid De
Sanctis, chronicles the powerful experiences of Amy Gopp, a
Mennonite Central Committee peace worker in the war-torn
Balkans. The Mennonite Church USA selected Torba for
performance at its July 2-7 convention in Nashville.
Torba was last fall's mainstage theater production at EMU. It was
one of six plays selected for the Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts for the southeastern region American College Theater Festival
at the University of Southern Mississippi in February.
The festival crowd jumped to their feet at the end of the
performance. Torba was named a finalist for the Kennedy Center's
national competition in Washington, D.C.
De Sanctis, who wrote the play last summer, is leaving EMU this
summer after four years on the faculty.
