22 Plays directed by Briana McCarthy OSF ‘69
Briana McCarthy OSF ‘69 As a Franciscan who taught at the college of Saint Teresa in the early seventies, Briana taught dramatic literature and children’s theatre and directed plays at CST. She was a colleague in the Communications Arts Department with Richard Weiland, Eileen Whalen, John Breitlow and James Tiplady. “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” was Briana’s first CST production. Other productions included: ‘The Thirteen Clocks” (childrens play), “Bury the Dead” (an anti-war drama), “Savage” (an experimental play on the American Indian), “The Matchmaker” and “Francis: Freed by the Spirit” (a 1977 Summer Franciscan event). Briana’s masters thesis involved the production and the direction of two children’s plays in Norfolk, Nebraska. She designed the sets and costumes, directed and produced both plays during the summer of 1993. Using the high school gym, “The Great Race”, became a reality as members of the local community gathered cardboard boxes, paints, and ordinary materials to create two dynamic theatre experiences on a shoe string budget. A faculty member from Emerson College (Boston) attended and expressed amazement how these children’s productions could be produced on a low budget with such a high level of professionalism. Throughout the years, Briana frequently directed communal rituals (The Cosmic Garden), skits (Pink Panther Returns) and choreographed many liturgical dances and prayer events. Currently she ushers for the Rochester Civic Theatre and enjoys attending theatre productions in the area, including avant-garde productions at Mixed Blood Theatre and modern and classic productions at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, MN. Experiencing three Operas in New York City recently, set the bar high for dramatic arts at its best. “Savage” “Romeo and Juliet” 1930 23 “The Importance of Being Ernest” 1951 “And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little” 1975
