Mirror Mirror


Our project entitled Mirror Mirror is going very well. We collected more than 20 monologues from the community about body image. We have cast more than 30 actors (some are double-cast) and have 6 directors rehearsing the monologues with our performers. Tickets have gone “on sale” although tickets are free and they can be reserved by e-mailing stanfordmirrormirror@gmail.com. We are already reserving lots of tickets so we are very excited. Performances are Friday February 26th 7pm and 9pm and Saturday February 27th 7pm and 9pm at the Nitery Theatre. We also plan to perform in more than a dozen dorms the week leading up to the project, during National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, and we are currently scheduling performances with PHEs in dorms.

Right now the things we are working on are:

1. Getting financial co-sponsorships from campus organizations so that we have enough funding to print our posters.

2. Collecting information for the program

3. Designating our House Manager and Front of House Staff

4. Getting ready for our first all-cast rehearsal on February 20th, with costumes

5. Publicizing the show

6. Selecting and contacting people to appear on our post-show discussion panels

We’re so grateful and excited to have an Arts Grant!!
