6th Act Academic Workshop


At 4pm on Thursday, 10/11, The Sixth Act will host a Fall Workshop in the Black Box Theater to explore the artistic, cultural, and academic relevance of drama/theater and discuss how we can teach more plays in the classroom.  We are committed to supporting faculty integrate more drama into curriculum, and this workshop aims to share how The Sixth Act offers a range of resources available to faculty and students.  We are excited to introduce The Sixth Act Library, the Sixth Act website, the reorganization of Drama-On-Demand, and newly forged relationships with Geva Theater.  Heather Fox, from Visual and Performing Arts, and Mark Cuddy, Geva’s Artistic Director, will be on hand to discuss the upcoming season and the creative ways Geva and The Sixth Act are collaborating to provide opportunities for MCC students and faculty.   Please join us.   

Formed in 2004, The Sixth Act provides co-curricular support for the study of drama across disciplines at MCC. To this end, The Sixth Act (1) develops co-curricular events and materials for MCC faculty and students, especially those who might teach or study plays or playwriting, and (2) provides enrichment opportunities to encourage all MCC faculty, students, and staff to see and talk about plays produced at MCC and in the Rochester area. The Sixth Act seeks as its leaders faculty, staff, and students drawn from a variety of academic disciplines and departments.

The Sixth Act is supported by MCC’s Creative Arts Committee and Liberal Arts Program.
