What’s On

In the winter of 2023, Gwen Adams served as co-director alongside Dr. Kathy Phipps to produce Shakespeare’s magnificent The Winter’s Tale with Indianapolis-based Agape Theater Company. In September 2024, Gwen Adams headed out to teach drama with the first sophomore-junior class at Chesterton Academy of Our Lady of Hope in Warwick, Rhode Island. We began rehearsing Charles Dicken’s classic Kate and Nicholas Nickleby. Focusing on Kate’s story, this all-new retelling showcases the story’s best parts (the school, the theater company, the house of fashion, the artist!) with a special twist. We end where G. K. Chesterton wished Dickens had ended the story. Eleven weeks later, it’s tech week for one of Chesterton’s favorite stories by one of his favorite authors.
