2023 Mostly Medieval Theatre Festival

mostly medieval theatre festival 2023 performance schedule

Founded in 2017, the Mostly Medieval Theatre Festival (MMTF) is a performance festival showcasing and invigorating the global heritage of drama, music, dance and performance styles from late antiquity through the Renaissance. To relaunch the MMTF in 2023, founder and associate professor of theatre Lofty Durham has designed a special course that culminates in the creation of a traveling ensemble of players—students in the Department of Theatre at Western Michigan University—who will present a rotating repertoire of short performances at various times and in various places throughout the Congress. Keep an eye out for these enthusiastic and talented students, and be sure to catch Suzanne Savoy's performances of Christine de Pizan's "Tale of Poissy"!
