with UGA Next Act

As part of Next Act's 2024-25 season Growing Pains, which focused on navigating the many facets of childhood and adolescence, "Summer Camp" explored the abundance of emotions many of us experience during our time in the often surreal setting of summer camps. 

The cabaret featured two original compositions of "Camp Isn't Home" from Theater Camp (2023) and an acoustic mashup of "august" and "Cruel Summer" by Taylor Swift.

The production also featured ASL interpretation arranged & performed by Next Act's Elliot Smith.

“Ladies Men” is a devised anthology of monologues and poetry originally intended for women, now portrayed only by male actors, that traverse femininity, masculinity, and the fluid confines of gender.

The Grown-Ups was Kaitlyn Talsky's directorial debut, and the most emotionally impactful project she has been a part of to date.

Written in the midst of "unprecedented times," The Grown-Ups takes its apocalyptic, contemporary setting to an eerily relatable extent. 

As part of Ars Gratia Artis' mission to produce theatre in non-traditional spaces, the decision was made to honor the play's original tradition of being performed outdoors and around a real campfire. The production's staging in-the-round invited the audience to connect with the play's characters, compelling them to be a part of the story themselves.
