Columbia University School of the Arts presents MFA Acting Class of 2019 Thesis Productions:

Middletown

By Will Eno

Directed by Manoel Felciano

Middletown's quirky denizens are balanced between a lost history and an uncertain future - living atop the bones of those who were there first, and beneath impossibly distant stars. While navigating the daily ordinariness of fixing the sink, visiting the library or planting a tree, the inhabitants of Middletown haltingly wrestle with the gap between who they are and who they are assumed to be. As they fumble and grasp to reach beyond themselves, they collide with - and miss - each other, in ways both poignant and funny.

In the Red and Brown Water

By Will Eno

Directed by Melissa Crespo

In the distant present, on a housing project in Louisiana lives Oya, a young girl, soon to be woman. Foregoing her dreams of a college education and an athletic career to look after her dying mother, she finds herself increasingly trapped between the choices available to her. In the Red and Brown Water is Tarell Alvin McCraney's highly-acclaimed modern retelling of Federico Garcia Lorca's Yerma, that places a woman between familial duty and unfulfilled dreams.
