Abstract Details

2007, Master of Arts, Miami University, Theatre.
Community theatre is designed to adhere to social issues that may affect the way people think and live. In the production of The Shadow Box, a play about terminally ill patients and their loved ones, the idea was to provide a space where multi-perspectives of living with dying could meet on common ground, and perhaps engage in dialogue. This thesis is a combined analysis of Cristofer’s writing style, The Shadow Box’s production history, development of hospice, efficient rehearsal methods of the Viewpoints and Stanislavski system, and community outreach. When put into praxis, these aspects become an evaluation of how the directing process and performance brought the discussion of living with dying to audiences.
