I have rearranged the list of theatrical productions by date.

List of productions
Year Production
Fall 2010 Romeo and Juliet
Spring 2011 I Never Saw Another Butterfly
Fall 2011 Mary Zimmerman's The Odyssey
Spring 2012 Chamber Music
Fall 2012 The Illusion
Fall 2013 A Conference of Birds
Spring 2013 Plays for Days
Spring 2013 Gérald Sibleyras/Tom Stoppard's Heroes
Fall 2014 Radium Girls
Spring 2015 Madwoman of Chaillot
Fall 2015 The Trojan Women
Spring 2016 Julius Caesar
Fall 2016 Blue Stockings
Spring 2017 Our Town
Fall 2017 Afflicted: Daughters of Salem
Spring 2018 This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing
Fall 2018 Peter and the Starcatcher
Spring 2019 Decision Point
Fall 2019 Macbeth
Spring 2020 Under Milkwood
  1. Fall 2013 is out of order
  2. Did the school put on two productions in Spring 2013? Or
  3. Should Spring 2013 (when the school performed "Heroes") actually be Spring 2014?

That is, should it be as below?

List of productions
Year Production
Spring 2012 Chamber Music
Fall 2012 The Illusion
Spring 2013 Plays for Days
Fall 2013 A Conference of Birds
Spring 2014 Gérald Sibleyras/Tom Stoppard's Heroes
Fall 2014 Radium Girls

Can the list be brought up-to-date?

  1. What was performed in Fall 2020?
  2. What was performed in Spring 2021?

Unfortunately, the answers are not given in the SEM website.

Other comments

  1. The Odyssey was an adaptation of Homer's epic by Mary Zimmerman and Robert Fitzgerald
  2. The correct title seems to be "The Conference of the Birds"
  3. The correct title seems to be "The Madwoman of Chaillot"
  4. Attributions are given for The Odyssey and Heroes; for consistency, the same should be done for the others (e.g. Jessica Swales for Blue Stockings, Rick Elice for Peter and the Starcatcher; etc.)
