Kitsann Means, Oak Hill’s Drama and Public Speaking instructor, took a few moments recently to tell us about her recent adventures and some of her favorite things about Oak Hill.

The theatre department recently hosted Luiz Valdez with his play “Los Vendidos” and it was a huge success. The students learned about prejudice and had the opportunity to present a unique version of this play in front of the playwright himself. Mr. Valdez spoke about the value of turning adversity into creativity. His beautiful play was a reminder that all theatre is political and is able to provide an important voice in our world.

Another once in a lifetime experience was our recent trip to Thailand. We brought an original play to the King’s School in Hua Hin. These students had never been exposed to Western Theatre before and to work so closely with them on such an important project was life-changing. This collaboration utilized the best of what each culture has to offer. We had Thai dancers and ancient Thai instruments in combination with an old fashioned American Musical Theatre structure. We wrote the script and music and got permission to use two of the King’s compositions, (in addition to all his other gifts and abilities, he is an accomplished Jazz Saxophonist and composer). This play was broadcast throughout Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia as well as Southern China. It was designed as a gift to the King for his 84th birthday. This trip was one of those rare experiences, both artistically and culturally, that hangs like a little diamond in your memory forever.

I love international theatre. I think it is a great way to really explore primal, authentic communication between cultures. It requires creative problem solving and uses language, movement, music, dance and design to create bridges between people. I find this to be wonderful, rewarding work. Our play was about our global responsibility to take care of our earth and we are grateful for the opportunity to reach such a vast audience with this important message.
