SUMMARY:Overnight Sensations
DESCRIPTION:Since 2006\, the Playwright’s Lab at Hollins has partnered with Mill Mountain Theatre to present a micro-brewed theatre festival. On Friday night six playwrights are randomly paired with six directors\, who then randomly draw from a hat a variety of writing prompts and a preselected cast of local actors. Before 9 a.m. the next morning\, they have to write a 10-minute play. They meet with their directors over a continental breakfast on Saturday morning and make any last-minute changes before the actors arrive and the plays begin rehearsal. When 8 p.m. rolls around\, and the audience are in their seats\, the show begins!

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Lab Readings
DESCRIPTION:July 12: Hamlet’s Ghost\, by Emily Flieschhauer\nThese readings\, which are early drafts of student-written plays\, are presented as part of the Playwright’s Lab course. The reading is followed by a two-tier feedback session. The first tier is based on the Liz Lerman Critical Response\, with the playwright taking notes on audience reactions to things that worked\, questions they feel are still unanswered\, things that didn’t work as well as the strengths we identified earlier\, and questions that the playwright might have. The second tier of feedback is closed\, and only students registered for the course and faculty attend. This session is less structured\, and playwrights can engage with commenters directly. In this way\, students are exposed to both kinds of feedback so that they have a nurturing environment as well as preparation for the more raw responses one could encounter in a review or blog comments.

SUMMARY:No Shame Theatre
DESCRIPTION:No Shame Theatre is an experiential performance lab where writers\, performers\, and audience are constantly changing roles. Anything can happen and usually does in this late-night venue for original work. We take the first 15 pieces to walk in the door and there are only three rules: pieces must be original (no copyright violations)\, short (five minutes or less)\, and not break anything (including the law). Inside those rules you can do pretty much anything you’re interested in trying in front of a live audience—plays\, monologues\, songs\, dance\, poetry\, mime\, juggling\, comedy\, tragedy\, improvisation\, dada\, magic—we’ve even seen people do floral arrangements! Pieces are accepted starting at 10 p.m.\, doors open at 10:30 p.m.\, and the show starts at 11 p.m.\, running on average an hour and a half. Admission: free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Reading by Authors Kelley Shinn ’04\, M.F.A. ’06 and Jennifer A Sutherland M.F.A. ’20
DESCRIPTION:Kelley Shinn’s new book\, The Wounds That Bind Us (West Virginia University Press\, 2023)\, tells her own true story: an orphan at birth who loses her legs at the age of 16 to a rare bacterial pathogen. She becomes an avid off-road racer and\, as a single mother\, attempts to drive around the globe in a Land Rover with her three-year-old daughter in tow to bring light to the plight of land mine survivors. The Southern Review of Books calls The Wounds That Bind Us “simultaneously empowering and disconcerting. . . . Ultimately\, one comes away from this book with an appreciation for the beauty of broken things. We are\, so many of us\, like cracked pottery\, repaired with gold. Our wounds may be terrible\, but they are also precious.” Shinn’s writing has appeared in The New York Times\, Fourth Genre\, Intima: A Journal of Narrative Medicine\, and elsewhere. She completed her bachelor’s degree and her M.F.A. in creative writing at Hollins. She lives in Ocracoke\, NC.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nJennifer A Sutherland is a poet\, essayist\, and attorney in Baltimore. Her debut book\, Bullet Points: A Lyric (River River Books\, 2023)\, is part prose poem\, part lyric essay. It considers an American courthouse shooting\, its aftermath\, and its echoes in law\, history\, and capitalism. “Bullet Points is relentless\, harrowing\, and tremendously smart\,” said Natalie Shapero\, author of Popular Longing. “With uncommon acuity and force\, Sutherland chronicles experiences of both public and intimate violence\, writing back from trauma and toward something new and necessary. This book is an absolute accomplishment.” Sutherland’s work has appeared or will appear in Hopkins Review\, Best New Poets\, Denver Quarterly\, I-70 Review\, Cagibi\, Appalachian Review\, Northern Virginia Review\, and elsewhere. She won first place in Streetlight’s 2018 Poetry Contest for her poem\, “An Elegant Variation.” Sutherland completed her M.F.A. in creative writing at Hollins and is an alumna of workshops at Bread Loaf\, Tin House\, and Kenyon Review.\n\nSponsored by the department of English and creative writing and the Dee Hull Everist Visiting Speaker Fund.

SUMMARY:Reading by the Author of "Pleasantview" Celeste Mohammed
DESCRIPTION:Lawyer-turned-author Celeste Mohammed penned the novel Pleasantview (Ig Publishing\, 2021)\, which won the 2022 CLMP Firecracker Award for Fiction and the 2022 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature. Author Tony Eprile called Pleasantview “a formidable debut” and added that the book’s “razor-sharp observations of misogyny and the abuse of power are leavened by humor and a pitch-perfect ear for the language of human.” Her work has appeared in The New England Review\, Litmag\, Epiphany\, The Rumpus\, among other places. She is the recipient of a 2018 PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers. She was also awarded the 2019 Virginia Woolf Award for Short Fiction\, and the 2017 John Gardner Memorial Prize for Fiction. As a native of Trinidad and Tobago\, Mohammad’s goal is to dispel all myths about island life and island people and to highlight the points of intersection between Caribbean and North American interests.\n\nSponsored by the department of English and creative writing and the Dee Hull Everist Visiting Speaker Fund.

SUMMARY:M.F.A. Dance @ the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum
DESCRIPTION:Corpus Mirabilis: The Life and Practices of St. Catherine of Siena and the Recentering of Female Agency and Play in Performance as Resistance. \n\nThesis Performance and Installation by M.F.A. Dance Graduate Student Melissa Miller\n\nEleanor D. Wilson Museum – Hollins Campus\n\nFree Admission\n\nThursday\, June 13\, 2024 – Live Performance\n\n7:30 pm\n\nFriday\, June 14 – June 28\, 2024 – Exhibition\n\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12- 5 pm\n\nThursday – 12-8 pm\n\nCorpus Mirabilis: The Life and Practices of St. Catherine of Siena and the Recentering of Female Agency and Play in Performance as Resistance centers around the life and death of Catherine Benincasa: a 14th-century Italian Tertiary Dominican\, mystic\, influential writer and leader\, and eventual saint\, in the European Catholic Church. Saint Catherine of Siena’s faith practice included a dedication to mortification of the flesh\, practitioners of which believed they should subdue desires\, which are at war with their soul\, by means of self-inflicted suffering. She began her practice of self-harm at the age of eight\, culminating in her death via self-imposed starvation at 33. Not considered suicide by the church leaders of the time\, her death was recorded instead as succumbing to pious fasting and called\, posthumously\, anorexia “mirabilis\,” Latin for “wonderful.” Looking at her life and death will be my point of entry for discussing animosity toward the female body in\, but not restricted to\, high-control Western religious environments. Exploring how these attitudes toward women have been internalized and propagated has urgency for everybody\, female or otherwise.

Though preferred\, you do not have to be memorized. Email us to request a five- minute slot. You may request a time\, but in order to have the audition run as efficiently as possible\, we will also be assigning times based on availability.\n\nSend your request for an audition slot to Gwyneth Strope (stropegm1@hollins.edu). Please put UNIFIED AUDITIONS in the subject line.\n\nUnless specifically indicated that you would prefer not to be\, all auditioners will be listed on the Roanoke Actors and Directors Facebook Page to help facilitate casting of local actors by area theatres throughout the year. Everyone who auditions will also be photographed on the day of the audition by our archive photographer\, so that we have both your photograph and a record of what you looked like on the day of the audition.\n\nAll requests for audition slots must be received no later than June 12!\n\nIf you have any other questions or don’t have email and would still like to audition\, please call Gwyneth Strope\, the Hollins Theatre producing manager at 540-362-6313.
