RVCC's Arts & Design department will present The Fall 2025 Performance Workshop, November 19-21, at 7 p.m. The event, which is free of charge and open to the public, will feature scenes and monologues by writers Neil LaBute, Federico Garcia Lorca, Theresa Rebeck, Deena Ann Rose, John Patrick Shanley, Sam Shepard, Tennessee Williams, and August Wilson. The performances will be staged in the Welpe Theatre at the College’s Branchburg campus.

Directed by Professor of Theatre Dennis Russo, the event will highlight RVCC students and Theatre majors playing roles that were assigned to them after a few weeks of reading through the pieces as a group.

The Workshop concept is an annual production that prioritizes student actors working on stage. No auditions are held, and every student has a quality role that has been chosen for them that best supports their ability. “The Performance Workshop is the one production a year where every student who wants to perform can be an actor,” says Professor Russo.
