CONVERSA by Joanna Castle Miller

A World Premiere

Directed by Matt Stabile

Executive Producers: Mandell Weiss Charitable Trust, Linda and Joe Satz-Trustees


Young Joanna knows all the Jewish prayers – and how they’re really about Jesus. That’s because, many years ago, her mother, who wanted to be a rabbi, converted to evangelicalism through Jews for Jesus. As a result, young Joanna learns all the tricks of Christian missions, eventually becoming a missionary herself. But when something ancient draws her away, to the traditions she never learned and histories she never studied, she finds herself in a tiny village where, centuries ago, her father’s father’s father faced a similar crossroads and made a very different choice.

Castle Miller, a playwright, performer, and expert in the Jewish History of Spain, performs this one-woman, tour-de-force, auto-biographical tale of her upbringing in the evangelical church and subsequent return to Judaism. A special finalist with the Jewish Plays Project, the title references the term used to describe those Jews who converted to Christianity around the time of the Inquisition rather than face exile from their homeland. CONVERSA is about identity, migration, change, and the echoes of history which call us home.

February 7-22, 2026

Performances Thursday-Saturday at 7:30pm, Saturdays & Sundays at 3pm

Department of Theatre Presents “The Tempest”

Feb 20 – March 1
Marleen Forkas Studio One Theatre
William Shakespeare’s masterpiece blends magic, betrayal, love, and forgiveness together for an evening of spectacle. Set on a mystical island, the play follows Prospero, the former Duke of Milan, who uses his magical powers to conjure a tempest that shipwrecks his enemies, including his treacherous brother Antonio and King Alonso of Naples. As the story unfolds, Prospero’s daughter Miranda falls in love with Ferdinand, the King’s son, while Prospero confronts his past and ultimately chooses forgiveness over revenge.
