We are excited to invite international students and scholars for an evening at the Yale Repertory Theater to see The Brightest Thing in the World.
We will host a light dinner at OISS before the show at 6:00pm where we will hear a short presentation from Eugenio Saenz Flores, a 3rd year international student currently studying at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, and Cat Raynor, a set and production designer for stage and film and a fourth-year M.F.A. candidate at David Geffen School of Drama. Previous design credits include Affinity, Twelfth Night (David Geffen School of Drama); A Doll’s House (Yale Cabaret); Iris & Maggie (Yale Cabaret); and short films MAJOR and Good Taste. Cat previously worked in the art department of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel!
Around 7:30pm we will walk from OISS to the Yale Rep for the show which will begin at 8pm. We hope you can join us for a night at the theater!
Synopsis of The Brightest Thing in the World: It’s classic rom-com. Beguiling Lane works in a bakery and in short order wins over cool customer Steph with her warmth, wit, and homemade desserts. Their blossoming relationship also opens the door to romance for Lane’s older sister Della, who hasn’t been on a date in years. But the skies dramatically darken as each woman must come to terms with her own limitations. The Brightest Thing in the World is a funny and compassionate new play about people we all know and people we all love.
