Human struggles are theme of YSD theater season

The school’s 2012–13 drama season features three productions staged by the 2013 directing class that explore the human struggles—vain or victorious, intimate or epic—to become who we believe we are meant to be. The shows, staged and performed by YSD students, are: Iphigenia Among the Stars, a space-age adaptation of Euripides’s Iphigenia at Aulis and Iphigenia Among the Taurians, by Benjamin Fainstein ’13MFA, directed by Jack Tamburri ’13MFA, which played October 30–November 3; Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s musical theater masterpiece, Sunday in the Park with George, directed by Ethan Heard ’13MFA, December 14–20; and Caryl Churchill’s sexy, sad, and mordantly funny satire, Cloud Nine, directed by Margot Bordelon ’13MFA, January 22–26.
