The South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC) Theatre Collective presents The Moors by Jen Silverman at the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts Main Stage from Nov. 11 to 20, 2022.

The Moors by Jen Silverman is a dark comedy that follows two sisters, a maid, and a dog who live isolated on the bleak English moors. With the arrival of a governess and a moor-hen, their lives take a strange and dangerous turn. The play explores themes of love, desperation, and visibility.

The cast includes Paige Doyle, Meghan Goodman, Katelyn May, Mike Gregory, Kimberlee Wolfson, and Anna Holbrook. SPSCC graduate Jordanna Averett returns as the play’s Stage Manager and Set Designer. Alongside SPSCC Theatre Collective’s recent productions of The Thanksgiving Play and [title of show], Jordanna has worked in community theatres including Olympia Little Theatre and Olympia Family Theatre. She will be working alongside SPSCC students Genevieve Hosfield and Linda Ngo on The Moors.

The Moors is a dark comedy that explores our deep need to be seen–whether we're humans or mastiffs or moor-hens,” said Dr. Lauren Love, Director and Drama Professor at SPSCC. “I'm excited to work with this talented local cast and excellent designers on a play that challenges forms of theatre and gendered norms and is full of dangerous surprises!”

Admission is a suggested $15 donation at the door. More information, including performance dates and times, is available on the college’s Arts & Entertainment page.
