Spotlight on the Cast and Company of "Eclipsed"

The Department of Theater's Fall MainStage production of Eclipsed opens Friday, November 2 in the Moore Theater! Danai Gurira's harrowing play tells the story of five women whose lives have been set on a nightmarish detour by the Second Liberian Civil War; the play celebrates their strength and humanity in a  powerful portrait of survival, transformation, and renewal. The cast includes:

Stella Asa '22
Naomi Agnew '20
Michaela Benton '22
Stephanie Everett '19
Esther Oluokun '20

The cast was recently profiled by the Hopkins Center's Hop Backstage blog: read all about them here and here! For those wishing to hear more from them, they will be participating in a post-show discussion immediately after the performance on Friday night, November 9. 

The production has been directed by Guest Artist Miranda Haymon, currently a Directing Fellow with New York's Roundabout Theater. Miranda was recently interviewed in Vermont's Seven Days magazine; click here for that article!
