Hasti Jafari Jozani contributes her new play “Tiny or Far Away” to Unmuted: A Virtual DigiFest.

Master of Fine Arts students in playwriting — denied the opportunity to stage live, new plays — present new works of virtual theater created this semester. The pandemic has afforded them the opportunity to challenge conventional expectations of theater: its nature and aims, its elements, and how, where, and for whom it’s created. This event will stream live on YouTube. Supported by the Sam Mazza Foundation. Free.
