- Edges of Proximity: Breaking the Barriers of Traditional Theater
During the time of pandemic uncertainty, the DePauw Theater and School of Music joined forces to create a three-part virtual musical, “Edges of Proximity: Songs for the Pandemic” – the first part “Belonging” premiered on YouTube on the DePauw Music page on Saturday, Nov. 7.
This musical was a first for me. While I’m told it’s unlike any musical DePauw has put on before, the staff and cast still were able to put together a well-rehearsed play that discussed serious topics in a light-hearted manner. Although the actors were spread out across the country, it still felt very interlinked. This might have been a virtual musical on YouTube, but to me, it felt as if I was watching from the stalls.
2. First-Year Internship And Resume Development Workshop
On Wednesday, Nov. 11, there is a first-year internship and resume development workshop.
