From the Faculty Editor
I know almost nothing about theatre. So when I tasked my Intro to Narrative Journalism class to write stories about theatre my goal was to create something that would appeal to neophytes like myself. They were challenged to combine journalistic reporting with creative storytelling techniques to create vivid and compelling stories. The result is a vignette of two student productions, from the rehearsal room to the stage as well as a peek into the world of hip-hop theatre. They explored the process of putting a production together and examined how these artists connect to an audience. The result is a unique perspective on the art of performance that I hope intrigues you as much as it did me.
A special shout out to Scott Snyder and to all the students who kindly let my reporters invade their sacred space and witness the magic of theatre at Muhlenberg.
