Congratulations to the company of our final mainstage play of the 25/26 season, The Visit! From the subtle foreshadowing to intricate characters, this show was chilling, thought-provoking, and a phenomenal way to close out our season!🐝 When asked about his experience working on The Visit, first year MFA @mack_debernardo said the following: "I really enjoyed my time in The Visit! In my experience, UF is one of the most professional programs around. All aspects, from production to design to directing were top-notch. For my first show here, I was especially impressed with the sheer amount of talent within the program. Everyone here is handpicked and wonderful. I can’t wait to continue working with everyone in and outside of the program here in Gainesville."

Taking a moment to celebrate our Musical Theatre students who were featured in this spring’s MainStage production of THE VISIT. It’s always exciting to see them working across both plays and musicals here in our School of Theatre+ Dance! By Friedrich Dürrenmatt Adapted by Maurice Valency Directed by Charlie Mitchell Costume Design: @stephensstuff Scenic Design: @kaydazey Lighting Design: @smoakdesigns Hair, Makeup & Wig Design: @jwaltzcostumedesign Sound Design: @mma.dyy Stage Manager: @lauren.w.rench Dramaturg: @leo.markos Logo design: @stephensstuff Promotional graphic for the University of Florida School of Theatre + Dance production of The Visit. Against a textured deep red background, large distressed gold lettering spells “THE VISIT” in the center. Four student performers in costume are arranged across the image: a young woman seated at a desk on the left, a young man in a tan suit holding a rifle, a seated older-character figure in vintage clothing at center-right, and another young man in a straw hat, red checkered shirt, and knee-high patterned socks standing on the far right. Stylized illustrated bees are scattered throughout the composition. The UF School of Theatre + Dance logo appears at the bottom center.

How to put into words the gratitude I feel for this show. I knew the moment I read the script that I was in big trouble- that it would be all to easy for me to fall in love with this kooky world, it’s compelling moral questions, and most of all with the Claire herself. And fall in love I did. I wanted to bring humanity to this “villain”- to not excuse her actions but to show the audience why she does them. Because all of us have pain, all of us have been wronged at some point in our lives. The question is, what do we do with that pain? How do we interact with those we know are hurting? Maybe, just maybe, if Claire had met someone who looked at her with empathy instead of judgement, her story would have ended differently. And maybe, each of us is called to be that person for someone else. There are so many people to thank for making this last show at UF extra special for me- our wonderful director Charlie Mitchell who allowed me so much freedom to make discoveries in rehearsal, this lovely ensemble of actors for bringing this story to life with so much commitment and care (finding so many little moments of joy both on and off stage!) the incredible design team with their spectacular vision (I have to give some extra praise to @stephensstuff for not only believing in me before I was even cast, but also for taking such good care of our Clara with costumes beyond my wildest dreams), my darling dressers @isa.casasnovasm and @ella_violett for pampering me and putting up with my daily checklists, the entire SM team for holding such a productive yet joyous workspace, and to Claire herself for teaching me so much about creating power on a stage with both her strength and brokenness. It’s gonna be hard to let go of this show, but I praise God that this opportunity came at a time when I was ready to embrace it. All the glory goes to Him because I know I couldn’t do any of this alone. And thank YOU if you’ve made it to the end of this tirade 🤪 Let’s visit again some time, Clara. Adieu 🐝 Somehow didn’t get any pics with @connor_deroche , @alex_naranjo___ , and @actorsingerman but I still love them 💛 #thevisit #seniorshow #clairezachanassian #ufsotd acting
