2025-26 Season:
Rounding Home
“But this idea of “rounding home,” with apologies to baseball purists, implies that home plate might not necessarily be the endpoint. We are interested in returning home and also thinking about ways forward, new ways of looking at ourselves in these challenging and troubling times”
- Joseph Megel, Artistic Director
Coming Up Next:
NOV 5-6
Translation Festival
In partnership with Dramatic Art and The Mercurian, Adam Versényi, Curator
October 16-18 at 7:30 p.m.
Performed at Swain Hall Black Box Theatre
This is the third Translation Festival in which the Process Series has joined Dramatic Art, The Mercurian, and Adam Versényi in exploring new theatrical translations as new works for the stage. In Translation Festival 2025 we encounter a new play from the Catalan (Flood Zone), from the Latvian (Ladies), from the Indonesian (Oh), and finally, from ancient Greek, a new queer take on The Bacchae.
