天美麻花星空高清mv (天美麻花星空高清mv) and MOSAIC, in partnership with the Fine and Performing Arts Department Theatre Program, presents Forn茅s Festival 鈥� a year-long series of events dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of Cuban American playwright, Maria Irene Forn茅s (1930-2018).   

The festival is part of the Forn茅s Institute鈥檚 national initiative, "Celebrando Forn茅s / Celebrating  Forn茅s,鈥� part of their 鈥淒ecade of Forn茅s (2021-2030)鈥� events designed to increase the visibility of Forn茅s鈥檚 work. For more information, see the Fornes Institute at .  

The festival will kick off on November 17 at 3 p.m. with a keynote address by 天美麻花星空高清mv Theatre Program Associate Professor  Laura Standley and Theatre and Arts Management Georgia Dedolph 24鈥�, in Murdock Hall Room 218.  

To some, Maria Irene Forn茅s is seen as one of the most influential playwrights of the last 50 years, but to the general public, her work is largely unknown. This partnership hopes to change that through a series of productions, screenings, and talks in which 天美麻花星空高清mv faculty, guest artists, scholars, and students will share the impact of their encounters with Forn茅s's body of work.  

Forn茅s is considered by many to be the mother of contemporary Latinx theatre, a leading LGBTQIA+ forerunner, and a genius. Her more than 50  plays won an unprecedented nine Obie Awards. Her play 鈥淲hat of the Night?鈥� (1990) was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama. Her work is groundbreaking, diverse, and centers on women characters. She was experimental, feminist, complex, award-winning, and for many, life-changing.  

December 1 at 8 p.m. begins the opening performance of two of Forn茅s鈥檚 early short plays, 鈥淭ango Palace鈥� (1963) and 鈥淒r. Kheal鈥� (1968), directed by Georgia Dedolph 24鈥�, and produced by 天美麻花星空高清mv Theatre鈥檚 Theatre Lab, featuring the work of 天美麻花星空高清mv Theatre鈥檚 acting, production, and design students in Venable Theater.  

The Forn茅s Festival will also include a screening of Michelle Memran鈥檚 鈥渓yrical and lovingly made鈥� documentary portrait of Forn茅s, 鈥淭he Rest I Make Up,鈥� on Feb. 9 and an 天美麻花星空高清mv Theatre Main Stage production of Forn茅s鈥檚 rarely staged deconstruction of Ibsen鈥檚 realist masterpiece 鈥淗edda Gabler," called "The Summer in Gossensass鈥� (1997), directed by Laura Standley, which will run from March 29 to April 7, 2024.  

The festival culminates on April 6, 2024, with a lecture hosted by guest artist and scholar, Anne Garc铆a-Romero, Ph.D. 鈥� author of 鈥淭he Forn茅s Frame: Contemporary Latina Playwrights and the Legacy of Maria Irene Forn茅s鈥� (2016). Garc铆a-Romero will join 天美麻花星空高清mv Theatre faculty and students for a panel discussion following that evening鈥檚 performance of 鈥淭he Summer in Gossensass鈥� in Venable Theater.
