How does a family grow together, instead of apart? 

Dorothy is raising four teenage girls all on her own, but when she meets someone at her mother's wedding, she begins the year-long journey toward her own. Through banter, brawls, and journal entries, the new play In Bloom examines a pivotal year for this family and how they must stretch their deep love for one another in order to walk into this next chapter together. 

The Hollins theatre department is a vibrant, creative community embodying our core values of curiosity, collaboration, and care. Our mission is to teach life skills through theatre, cultivating the development of artists, thinkers, and leaders with a passion for the performing arts. We promote life-long learning and collaboration by encouraging students to actively contribute to our departmental vision, policies, and programming. In our classrooms, rehearsal halls, scene shops, and on stage, we nurture an environment where students can explore, create, and express their personal creative visions. Through this holistic approach, we prepare our students not just for careers in theatre, but for lives enriched by curiosity, teamwork, and artistic expression.
