Kenyon College - MacLeod's <em>Juvenilia</em> comes home to Kenyon |
 | | Juvenilia, written by James E. Michael Playwright-in-Residence and Associate Professor of Drama Wendy MacLeod, may have premiered in New York City, but the play--which grew out of an exercise in MacLeod's Introduction to the Theater class--was conceived in Gambier. |
 | | Taking its title from a Latin term referring to the early, immature works of an artist, Juvenilia is set in a dorm at fictional Jubilee College, a small liberal-arts institution not unlike Kenyon. |
 | | The school motto, Puberes ex pueris, which translates roughly as "Adults out of children," suggests the arc of the story: in the secure incubator that is college life, the characters each search for emotional balance, juggling emergent sexuality, maturity, and morality. |
