Last Day of Classes at Rose Bruford

























Tuesday was our last day at Rose Bruford. The SMU students had their last Global Issues class with Steven Dykes, I had my last two classes with the Rose Bruford students, and Sam, Krista, and Lindsay had their last acting class with Tony James. The also performed three scenes that they have been working on for the whole semester. Krista and Sam did The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, Krista and Lindsay did That's All by Harold Pinter and Sam and Lindsay did The Country by Martin Crimp. These scenes were attended by the first year ATA students and myself. My first year ATA students did scenes from God's Country by Stephen Dietz for the first half of class and then we worked on The Laramie Project; these two shows completed our course on Small Town America and The Community in Crisis.
