Thursday, September 10
3:15 to 6 p.m.—STAND IN IT WITH ME: CARLETON, Skinner Memorial Chapel
Stand In It with Me: Carleton is a fast-paced and bold theatrical performance that addresses important issues related to campus life, college culture, academic experiences, diversity, inclusiveness, changing communities, and how we are all affected by the many experiences and perspectives we interact with as college students each day. The performance is based on information and interviews collected by students, faculty, and administration from our own campus. Infusing a multitude of improvisation and performance art models, this piece has something for every learning style including human sculptures, scenes, poetry, and more. The performance, performed by “Exposed Brick Theatre,” is designed to fuel dialog related to the expectations, anticipations, and realities of the first-year experience.
