WINDOWS

Directed by Molly Noble
Written by Molly Noble and the Casts

A collaborative, live storytelling event created by College of Marin students, faculty, staff, and designers. These stories explore the theme of Windows through several lenses: history, architecture, personal memory, dreams, social justice, music, metaphor, poetry, and science. Bring a pencil and paper, a beverage of your choice, and a comfy chair!

This 65-minute show will be delivered in three acts:

• Act One: Stories, Songs, Poems, and a Surprise or Two.
• Act Two: (Breakout Rooms) An opportunity to meet your fellow audience members and share stories in our very own COM Zoom Lobby.
• Act Three: More stories, songs, poems, and an opportunity to share a story of your very own.

Please feel free to refresh your drink and join in as the spirit moves you.

Director's Note

Thank you for participating with us in this storytelling experiment. We’re exploring themes from the student’s point of view. During this troubled year, the metaphor of Windows spoke to us all since we’re either looking in one or looking out on our devices, in our houses, on late-night walks in our neighborhoods, and even in our own mirrors. In a year when we couldn’t be live together in the theatre, we wanted to create connections with our audiences through the Zoom format. We hope we’ve been able to create these connections. 

All Windows stories, songs, and poems are written by our student and community actors.

We’re looking forward to seeing you in person in the theatre as soon as it’s safe and joyful! Thanks for joining us!
