RojoFest
presented by Ballard Institute & Museum of Puppetry and Connecticut Repertory Theatre
This inaugural festival of new works is a celebration of UConn dramatic arts students’ boundless creativity. Named in honor of the late Jerry Rojo, who served on the UConn faculty from 1961 to 1990 and designed the unique Mobius Theatre, the festival was born out of a desire to create a celebratory home for the creative writing, devising and theatre crafting of our amazing students!
The (First Annual) Jerry Rojo Festival of Original Student Work will run January 25-28 in multiple UConn drama spaces. The festival features two MFA Puppet Arts projects (by Abigail Baird and Carrie Fowler) and six additional student-generated performances.
All performances are free. Visit bimp.ticketleap.com to reserve your seats.
