Columbia University School of the Arts presents the MFA Acting class of 2023 in ORLANDO.

“The dead have wonderful memories.” 

ORLANDO, Virginia Woolf’s time-bending novel adapted by Sarah Ruhl, is a poetic romp through several centuries. The play chronicles the life (and additional lives) of a nobleman who dreams of becoming a poet as both time and gender shift. This production, directed by Jimmy Maize, will question how an individual exists within historical parameters. How do we experience the world differently? It’s about writing through time and time through gender.
