Special Event
The Blazing Life and Tragic Death of Joaquin Murieta
Written by Pablo Neruda
Translated by Scott Vrooman
The Sixth Act plans to carve out a series of events designed to help develop this robust new translation towards production at a professional theatre in the United States.
Drama on Demand
Drama on Demand is an ongoing curriculum tool that brings student actors into literature classrooms, encouraging students to talk to each other across disciplines about theatre.
Formed in 2004, The Sixth Act aims to broaden and deepen an interdisciplinary appreciation of drama at MCC and to connect MCC faculty, staff, and students with events in Rochester’s theatre community. It seeks as its leaders faculty, staff, and students drawn from a variety of academic disciplines and departments. For more information, please contact Maria Brandt at 585-292-3394 or mbrandt@monroecc.edu.
The Sixth Act is supported by MCC’s Creative Arts Committee.
