Columbia School of the Arts to Present MUD & SPRINGTIME

Columbia University School of the Arts will present Colm Summers' (Columbia MFA Directing Candidate 2022) production of MUD & SPRINGTIME by María Irene Fornés.

In the dustbowl of America's first Great Depression, trapped by her poverty and the men around her, Mae will stop at nothing to make meaning of her life. Twenty years later, a forbidden relationship disintegrates as two women try to understand what will make them free. Told across two plays, MUD & SPRINGTIME by María Irene Fornés is the story of the power it takes to break free of destitution, moral judgement, and the people whose love will drown us. Director Colm Summers examines America's greatest sin - disparity - in an evening of plays that force us to reckon with our comfort in the safety of the American Dream.
