Brown/Trinity Rep MFA Programs Present WE GO ROUND AND ROUND

The Brown/Trinity Rep MFA Programs continue their season with We Go Round and Round, a reinterpretation of Arthur Schnitzler's play La Ronde, the story of a provocative clash between social expectations and taboo passions. We Go Round and Round, under the direction of guest director Kimberly Senior, runs December 1-10, 2016. All performances take place at the Pell Chafee Performance Center, 87 Empire Street, Downtown Providence.

A series of paramours meet, part, and fall in and out of love as different decades intersect in Kimberly Senior's staging of We Go Round and Round.

"We Go Round and Round explores the relationship between our public and private selves and how they are shaped by the world around us," says director Kimberly Senior. "How does our environment determine who has power and agency in the world, and how does that affect our social, gender and sexual behaviors? Audiences will be immersed in the action and become denizens of this world."

Kimberly Senior is a freelance director and the director of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize-winning play Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar. In Chicago, Kimberly is a Resident Director at Writers Theatre and an Associate Artist at TimeLine Theatre. Kimberly founded Collaboraction Theatre Company in 1997, spent ten years as an associate artist at Strawdog Theater, eight years as an associate artist at Chicago Dramatists, and six years as an associate artist at the much beloved Next Theatre.
