The first of many

This site is dedicated to the up and coming production of an indigenous writer's theatrical work on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign's campus.

I am Kevin Reader, your tour guide. I am a graduate student preparing his Master's thesis in Theatre History.

The to do list is long, and scary. But with proper time and preparation, it will all come to fruition.

The following must be done

1. Pick a piece to stage (done)
2. Staged Reading (in the works)
3. Find and reserve a space (in the works)
4. Lights and props
5. Casting
6. Publicity
7. Program

Then, on the other end, an analysis

1. situated introduction
2. analysis of the play
3. analysis of the author
4. analysis of the translation
5. annotated script

This blog serves will serve as an outreach and outlet for interested parties. Criticism is welcomed. The goal of this project is to create an engaging and informed piece of cultural theatre. I invite everyone and anyone to engage in this process with me.
