Events

Each year, The Tulane Reading Project brings incoming first-year students together for a shared intellectual experience through the reading and discussion of a selected book. This year’s selection, Beartown by Fredrick Backman, is the gripping story of a town grappling with sexual violence. A number of events are scheduled for students to explore the themes in the book.

During the 2018-19 school year, Tulane students will partner with Goat in the Road Productions, an acclaimed New Orleans-based professional theater company, and documentarian Katie Mathews to create Roleplay, a devised theater piece and accompanying documentary film created to give students a voice in exploring and shaping our campus culture.

We are looking for students who are interested in collaborating with professional film and theater makers on an original piece focusing on Tulane students' perspectives on: Love Sex Power Consent Relationships. The yearlong creative process will include:

• Six weekend-long workshops throughout 2018-2019.
• Rehearsal and performance in the early Fall of 2019.

Students will work alongside professional actors, writers, designers and film-makers learning valuable skills to create a powerful piece of art that reflects a multi-dimensional range of student voices and experiences. We seek a diverse and inclusive group of student collaborators. ALL ARE WELCOME. No previous theater experience necessary. For more information, contact Darci Fulcher at dfulcher@tulane.edu.
