Visiting Assistant Professor

Dr. Rebecca Hammonds is a recent graduate of the doctoral program at Bowling Green State University. Her dissertation, Bookish Women: Analyzing the Construction of Literary and Scholarly Women in the American Musical, argues that women who read, write, study, and teach in musicals engage in systems of personal and interpersonal empowerment and that the musical theatre form is uniquely suited to display the rich internal workings of these characters. Her research interests also include dramaturgy (as a research approach and production practice), an interdisciplinary investigation of Performance Studies and Christian thought and practice, and a very early consideration of American Sign Language as an embodied way of knowing, performing, and conveying knowledges.

Graduate Teaching Assistant

Graduate Student Researcher in Department of Theatre and Film

Dramaturgical Work - I am responsible to advise the director and cast about the verisimilitude and historicity of the blocking and show. I provide resource materials to the cast and crew. I also am responsible for lobby displays that will engage the audience. These displays are both for information and simply aesthetic enjoyment. I create newsletters, power points, short essays, artwork, prop displays, and timelines.

Marketing - Searching for Businesses in the Community to Sponsor both our Regional Shows and our CRTKIDS Children's Theater program, maintaining specific social media, maintaining community calendars, advising the producer during his season selection process.

Theater Education - California Regional Theater is dedicated to education and creative excellence. To this end, I work to develop effective study guides for the public, private, charter, and homeschool students who come to see our shows. We seek to meet the students' academic needs by outlining how the show meets various state and federal academic standards. It is our joy to be able to bring our shows in the the lives of the teachers and students.

Dramaturg

As Dramaturg at CRT, I am responsible to advise the director and cast about the verisimilitude and historicity of the blocking and show. I provide resource materials to the cast and crew and I am recently branching out into the development of effective study guides for all ages. I also am responsible for lobby displays that will engage the audience. These displays are both for information and simply aesthetic enjoyment. I create powerpoints, short essays, artwork, prop displays, and timelines. Because we utilize a community theatre facility, these displays must be fairly concise so that they will fit into the locked cases available or may be easily taken down and stored between shows. My few other responsibilities include program notes and PR (at times).
