MCS is excited to announce that we will be holding a reading of the new play It Will All Make Sense In The Morning.
The play is written by MCS DC alumni Erica Smith and directed by current MCS student Rocky Nunzio!
It Will All Make Sense In The Morning is a surreal and emotionally layered play that follows Sparrow, a person plagued by nightmares, who forms a bond with Alastair, someone capable of capturing dreams. Through dreamlike sequences and grounded personal struggles—including romantic conflict, protective family ties, and even a cult—the play explores the complex, often messy dynamics of asking for help and seeking connection. With queer characters at its core and a focus on human vulnerability rather than identity politics, the story blends haunting imagery and heartfelt humor to examine how pain and care intertwine.
In this experiential workshop course, students will learn and build upon the tenets and rules of theatrical improvisation, with ultimate emphasis on applying these to one’s own work as an actor. Through theatre games, and improvised experiences and performance, students will work toward freeing themselves physically, vocally, emotionally, and mentally, to stimulate creativity, imagination, self-expression, and the collaborative spirit through practicing both long and short form improvisation. Please bring an open mind as well as a confident sense of your own creativity.
