A few words from Director Javier Hurtado:
I’m excited to join the faculty at SMC and to direct The Late Wedding by Christopher Chen in the Fall of 2025. In the fall of 2021, I had the privilege of directing this play at Emerson College, and I use it in my classes often. It’s a dynamic piece of theatre that the playwright has described as a “playground.” I love this description because it feels so perfect. This play offers a director, designers, and performers a wonderful landscape of opportunity to play, imagine, and collaborate. I am excited to meet you all, and I look forward to seeing you at auditions!
