Williamstown Theatre Festival Summer Intensive (June – August 2022)

The summer intensive combines academic rigor and artistic training in a professional theater environment. Casey will live and learn together with a cohort of selected students for seven weeks on the Williams campus, fully embedded in the life of Williamstown Theatre Festival (WTF). She is looking forward to a summer of hands-on learning within WTF departments, seminar time with professionals, structured mentorship with professional artists, and the ‘theatre makers laboratory’ to devise and perform culminating projects.

Directed by Kym Moore, visiting professor from Brown University, Casey enjoyed playing the role of Midi. An adaptation, reimagining, and critique of The Little Mermaid, this play explores, teases, and expands the ideas of romantic, obsessive, and unrequited love that we learn from popular stories.

“Yerma”, Williams Theatre Department @ Williams College ’62 Center (November 2021)

DIRECTED BY SAYDA TRUJILLO

Casey shared the title role of Yerma and enjoyed presenting this play to a limited, live audience in November.

“Yerma, a body of tragedy that I have dressed in modern clothes, is above all the image of fertility, punished by sterility. A soul in which destiny was primed, to point her out as a victim of the infertile. I have wanted to make, I have made, through the dead line of the infertile, the living poem of fertility. And it is from there, from the contrast of the sterile and the vivifying, from which I extract the tragic profile of the work.” Federico García Lorca interview for Luz, Madrid, Spain. August 3, 1934 (The Guardian)
