THE TAMING

In Lauren Gunderson’s "The Taming", a conservative senator’s aide, a liberal activist, and a beauty queen are locked in a hotel room with one mission: to rewrite the Constitution. This fast-paced political comedy takes sharp aim at America’s deep divides with wit, satire, and unexpected sisterhood. Hilarious, smart, and wildly relevant, "The Taming" proves that even the strangest bedfellows might just change the world.

Dirt is a one-man show that explores the challenges and decisions that young people face every day. By approaching things through the lens of mental health, Dirt gets to the heart of issues related to drugs, bullying, and self-esteem in a manner that resonates with audiences in a real and meaningful way. Through the portrayal of relatable and memorable characters, John Morello gives voice to those who sometimes feel as though they are not heard and reassurance to those who sometimes feel as though they are not understood. John does not preach, teach, or lecture; instead, he takes audiences on a journey that challenges them to think about the choices they make and how those choices impact their own lives and the lives of those around them.

Join the SUNY Oswego Theatre Department for the first theatre production of the Fall Semester: Silent Sky! The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

The Friday, October 17 matinee performance is free for secondary school students.
