This groundbreaking transatlantic theater project is focused on the value of privacy. In cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Washington, theaters across the US and Europe have commissioned playwrights to write five-minute plays exploring the central question, “What does privacy mean to you in the digital age?” The results will be presented in different formats by a network of theaters through June 2018, with the intention of creating an artistic and cultural dialogue centered around varying American and European understandings of privacy.

Experience staged readings of all 15 plays over two evenings, accompanied by discussions about the issues raised by the works with participation from some of the playwrights as well as on-campus and local partners from the public policy, cyber-security and intelligence communities.

Join UMD faculty members and three of the participating artists/playwrights in Do Good Dialogue: No Place to Hide: A Conversation about Privacy, or the Lack Thereof on Wednesday, February 28, 2018 . 7 PM

When Eurydice tragically perishes on her wedding day, her groom Orpheus will do anything to bring her back to life. He strikes a deal with the gods of the Underworld, but will he be able to fulfill its terms? This reimagining of the classic myth is told through Eurydice’s eyes, offering a fresh perspective on her journey. It’s one of love and loss, pleasure and pain. The play’s rhythmic language helps rebuild the memories of the characters and highlights the heroine’s impossible choice between life and death.

In a small town, somewhere in America, a community gathers to ask their senator questions about the politics of the day, and the proceedings are live-streamed on social media by a young intern. But the conversation turns into a heated debate with mortal stakes when a retired librarian takes the event hostage.

Maryland Opera Studio students premiere an opera by the winner of the annual Opera Composition Contest. Launched in 2017, the contest is a joint initiative of the Maryland Opera Studio and Artist Partner Program to support the cultivation and performance of new work.

Free, no tickets required.
