Megan Smiley\u2019s first role in a theatrical production at Eckerd College came to her in her senior year\u2014and it\u2019s a lead. Her blue hair, lips and mood will embody The Moon in Into the Wind<\/em>, the College\u2019s first-ever virtual performance.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”32″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\u201cWhen reading it, I felt The Moon was sort of this stoic character, nurturing and wise,\u201d said the human development student from Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, who goes by Smiley. \u201cAs an actor, I like the serious roles that can be dreary in a beautiful way. That\u2019s what really drew me in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even as an aspiring dramatherapist, Smiley hadn\u2019t expected to be doing any acting before leaving Eckerd. A necessary course redesign resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, however, made a lot of previously unexplored possibilities all too real. The student-led and student-edited performance will premiere at 8 p.m. September 24 on the showtix4u.com platform<\/a> and will re-air at 8 p.m. on September 25 and 26 and at 2 p.m. on September 27.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”64″ bottom_padding=”32″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” el_class=”lg_text” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”6423″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”32″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-10-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Under normal circumstances Theatre Professor Jessica Thonen<\/a>\u2019s Theatre Production class would be spending a semester in Bininger Theater and the costume shop preparing for the fall play and learning the technical aspects of running a show from behind the scenes. This September she had to adapt her curriculum into a three-and-a-half-week intensive course because of the College\u2019s Block\/Module course format and phased-return plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought about just doing theory lectures and getting them to research various backstage jobs, but then I thought about why I got into this. I want to show students the real joy and excitement producing theatre creates,\u201d Thonen said. Since her 13 students are learning remotely from Spain to Alaska, delivering that hands-on experience meant figuring out how to mount an entire production over Zoom, a popular video conferencing platform.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”6427″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Professor of Theatre Jessica Thonen<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”32″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-10-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Thonen reached out to colleague Jenn Rapp Pearl, a musical theatre director and choreographer whose credits include international touring performances of Daniel Tiger\u2019s Neighborhood<\/em> and Thomas the Tank Engine<\/em>. Thonen knew that after theaters went dark to slow the spread of COVID-19, Rapp Pearl continued to orchestrate virtual hospital-visit performances for children in cities where her show would have toured.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had seen things\u2014a lot of virtual performances were plays about two people talking on Zoom or old radio plays adapted for Zoom\u2014and knew that isn\u2019t what we wanted to do,\u201d said Rapp Pearl, the show\u2019s director.<\/p>\n

Thonen said most Zoom plays were all about loneliness in pandemic times and looking for connection via a video call. \u201cThat’s just a little too close to home right now, so I wanted to do something more produced, more theatrical,\u201d she admitted.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”32″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-10-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]She started penning an adaptation of Erin Morgenstern\u2019s novel The Starless Sea<\/em>, featuring a love story about an innkeeper and The Moon. Rapp Pearl helped refine the draft and piece together what this could look like via little boxes on a black background. The only missing piece was how they\u2019d pull together the final product. Cue Nick Corrao, professional film editor and the Donald R. Eastman III Assistant Professor of Film Studies at Eckerd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Corrao was similarly challenged, like Thonen, to adapt his Intro to Filmmaking class into a three-week intensive course. When Thonen approached him with her proposal, he saw an opportunity to give his students their first real editing job for a client. With students learning remotely from Denmark to Colorado, it was fortuitous having a single project for them to work on as a team. This show will challenge their knowledge of the software, Adobe Premiere, as well as their ability to interpret the material and offer alternative edits.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”6426″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Donald R.

Theatre Production students have been tasked with creating their own makeup concepts, costuming, lighting, sets, props and even puppets. The fantastical play includes characters like The Sun, The Moon and a parliament of owls (puppets) that join together to make an Almighty Owl. Casting was opened to all theatre students at Eckerd, and several roles have been cast with a voice performer and physical cast member. Thonen and Rapp Pearl shipped green paper to cast members to turn country manors and urban Victorians into the same setting.<\/p>\n

All the audio and video was provided to Corrao\u2019s class on Wednesday, giving his students one week to weave together a complete performance for viewers to experience Rapp Pearl\u2019s vision. Even with all its fantasy elements, Into the Wind<\/em> remains essentially a story about connections.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”32″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” el_class=”lg_text” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\u201cIt\u2019s really obviously about seeking connections in various forms.
