Pipeline at Bowie State University, Nov 19 & 20, In Person

Pipeline at Bowie State University, Nov 19 & 20, In Person

Bowie State University presents:
Pipeline by Dominique Morisseau

Friday, November 19, 2021 at 7:30pm
Saturday, November 20, 2021 at 7:30pm

Fine and Performing Arts Center, Black Box Theatre, Bowie State University, in person.

Pipeline by Dominique Morisseau delves into the all-to-real challenges of students caught in America’s broken education system which actively works against disinvested communities and students of color. Marking BSU Theatre’s re-emergence of live, in-person performance, this BSU Theatre production places audiences directly into the space where the drama happens – surrounded by the gates and walls that seem to confine the learner rather than foster growth. Pipeline’s directing team is led by graduating senior Sahira Parker, who shares this story of a mother’s immeasurable love, and whose resilience, patience and strength become the only protection and support for her son.

Free in-person performance, reservations required. Click here.

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. In Person.

In Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), Mozart’s miraculous blend of the human and the supernatural, comedy and romance, draws us into a world where a prince, Tamino, and a princess, Pamina, triumph over every obstacle in their search for wisdom and enlightenment and are finally united in love. With an enduring love story at its heart, plus complex villains and an unforgettable comic sidekick in Papageno, Die Zauberflöte weaves an enchanting tale from start to finish. Sung in German with English supertitles.

Pared down to simplified costumes and minimal production, the fall opera is the art form at its most elemental: the singer, the story and the music take center stage. In addition to the MOS singers, this performance features undergraduate students from UMD Choral Activities and the work of M.F.A. design students from the School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies.

About the Maryland Opera Studio:
Under the direction of Craig Kier, the Maryland Opera Studio is dedicated to the future of opera. Preparing the next generation of great singers and offering performances ranging from classic repertoire to provocative new works, it is building contemporary audiences for opera and advancing the art that sustains them.

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. In Person.

In what playwright Lauren Yee describes as an “existential slasher comedy,” Hookman tells the story of Lexi, a college freshman who is haunted by the sudden death of her childhood best friend—all while navigating the pressures of being a young woman entering adulthood. The production brings the horror film genre to the stage, inviting audiences to explore themes of grief, trauma and guilt in an up close and personal way.

“Yee’s skill in crafting all the conversations is the great gift of her ‘Hookman,’ and not just for the character-specific comedy and deft social and generational satire packed within them. Beneath all the laughs is a yearning quest for connection and self-definition, struggling to break through the distractions of youth and digital immersion.” — Robert Hurwitt, SFGATE
