Dr. Macy Jones, Walton Professor of Theatre at University of the Ozarks, recently attended the 45th annual Mid-American Theatre Conference (MATC) in Atlanta where her original 10-minute play, “The Insignificant Moon,” received a workshop performance.
MATC is a national theatre conference that meets annually to host four symposia: theatre history, playwriting, pedagogy, and performance/practice.
Jones’ play was one of eight selected out of a pool of 60 to be presented as part of the playwriting symposium.
In addition, Jones was elected to serve as vice president of the organization for a two-year term. Following her two-year term as VP, she will move to the president’s position.
“I have attended MATC since 2012, and have served as a graduate student liaison, external communication director, and a member-at-large,” Jones said “I have presented my research at the theatre history symposium and the pedagogy symposium several times.”
