UW-Superior production of ''Little Pieces''

 Superior Interaction returns to UW-Superior February 7, 9 & 10, 2015 with its newly developed original production of “Little Pieces,” directed by Communicating Arts graduate student, Simona Simkins.  Performances will be at Ross/Hawkes Hall and Multicultural Center in Old Main.

Created by, for, and about UW-Superior students, “Little Pieces” depicts true stories of three critical issues facing our campus: the stigmas attached to people dealing with depression, finding acceptance by friends and a safe space to thrive as an LGBTQ+ student, and coping with the aftermath of sexual assault.

The actors developed the script from both the lessons learned during issues training, as well as the real-life narratives gathered from their peers during story-sharing sessions. The topics that emerged were then improvised and collaboratively crafted into the final scenes. During the performance, the audience will be invited to take part in a discussion on these important topics, learning from the each other and creating an even safer and more welcoming campus community.

Artistic Director, Simona  Simkins, hopes the audience will walk away with a sense of hope and empowerment for the future of our campus, “If you’d like to increase authentic dialogue and understanding at UW-Superior, ‘Little Pieces’ is a must-see.”
