For more information, please contact [email protected]. “SHE’S A SLY ONE:” RETHINKING COMPLICITY AND SURVIVAL IN PAULA VOGEL’S HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE by MARY ANN BARFIELD Under the Direction of Matthew Roudané ABSTRACT In an early 1998 interview, playwright, Paula Vogel, sat in conversation with Arthur Holmberg to discuss the ambivalent victim-perpetrator power dynamics in her critically- acclaimed play, How I Learned to Drive, explaining that “there are two forgivenesses in the play. one forgiveness for Peck, but the most crucial forgiveness would be Li’l Bit’s forgiving Li’l Bit. Li’l Bit as an adult looking at and understanding her complicity.” Since the Holmberg interview, critics have made only passing references to Vogel’s discussion of complicity in play reviews and critical essays. This thesis represents the first sustained engagement with complicity as an ethical subject to argue that Li’l Bit’s dependence upon her uncle for emotional and sometimes physical survival exempts her from moral scrutiny in the course of his abuse.

  • The Sixth Act: an Event History
    The Sixth Act: An Event History 2004-2005 Academic Workshop: The Sixth Act: A New Drama Initiative This workshop will officially launch The Sixth Act, MCC's new Drama Initiative, so in addition to mocking a rehearsal for Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, we also will talk about the initiative and its goals. Everyone interested in drama--for personal, political, artistic, and/or pedagogical reasons-- is invited! Academic Workshop: Mamet, Harassment, and the Stage The workshop will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to a dramatic text, using David Mamet’s provocative, challenging play Oleanna as a case study. Oleanna, which is widely taught and performed, tells the story of a college student who issues a formal sexual harassment complaint against her college professor. The play is difficult in part because it’s difficult to tell which character is the real victim—raising real questions about different forms of power. More than one version of a key scene will be shown and then a group of MCC colleagues from different academic perspectives will offer insight into the text based on their individual backgrounds. The idea is that a single dramatic text can yield multiple readings, and that we all are better equipped to approach a dramatic text when we have a wider understanding of some of these readings. Academic Workshop: "Unpack My Heart With Words": Using Dramatic Techniques to Understand Shakespeare's Language This interactive workshop will help students, teachers, and drama enthusiasts use performance to interpret the multiple dimensions of Shakespeare's words. Academic Workshop: Stagecraft 101: Understanding the Fundamentals of Design This hands-on workshop will familiarize participants with the language of scenic, sound, lighting, costume, and property design-providing important insight into practical as well as metaphoric applications of the stage.
