In a recent story for The Theatre Times, "From the Fishbowl" director Wolfe Bowart and lighting designer Forrest Tallbull reflected on the journeys that brought them to this theatrical moment, the process of devising physical theatre in a digital space, and what new value “a world interrupted” has brought to their theatre-making.

"From the Fishbowl" also served as Lighting Designer Forrest Tallbull's MFA Senior Capstone Project in Lighting Design. "From the Fishbowl features vignettes that combine our digital culture with the stage," Forrest said in the article. "The stories are about shared messages of emotional humanity that show our true selves—selves we evade in the digital world. When I arrived, there was no script or outline. Wolfe [Bowart, director] wanted to hear ideas from the entire creative team, including the actors, designers, and even the stage managers. Wolfe said, “if you had a minute onstage to talk to the world—what would you say?” That was the starting point of the creative process. Designers not only contributed to the design elements of the spectacle; we were invited to tap into the emotional creation of the stories."

Watch the magical result online now. From the Fishbowl streams online April 1 - 18, 2021. Watch any time, from anywhere. Tickets are $11 per device. Read more at:

TONIGHT :: In "From the Fishbowl," MJ Barbee plays a contestant in a raucous game show where panelists goad him into being the personality they want him to be.

From the Fishbowl began with a question and a challenge. Director Wolfe Bowart asked 7 cast members – all students at the School of Theatre, Film & Television – what story would they tell if they had a minute to say something to the world right now. And could they tell their story using visual theatre? With the help of sound effects, movement, illusion, shadow puppetry, film interaction, comedy - and an occasional call from mom - discover some serious subject matters told with heart and humor.

Join us as we stream the PREMIERE SCREENING followed by ARTIST TALKBACK tonight, April 1, 2021, at 6pm MST.
