Schools of Thought: A Workshop-to-Performance Piece 


Written and Directed by Teresa McElhinny

Is point of view something we shop for...or intrinsic to our being? With so many philosophies competing for our allegiance, how do we choose where we belong?  Teresa McElhinny crafts a piece inspired by seniors carrying lifetimes of experience with shifting points of view.

Fresh off her turn on the boards in WICA's Macbeth, Teresa McElhinny takes her new piece through the rigors of crafting her one-act play for performance by working it with actors and mentors. Once ready to wow a larger audience, she offers it to you. Don't miss the birth of new theatre!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
