Marta Becket, Save Us All at Wesleyan
November 13- 15 2025
“Is it eccentric to love your work so much that you would go anywhere in the world to do it?”
–Marta Becket
Marta Becket, Save Us All is a new performance inspired by the life of Marta Becket, a Broadway dancer who left New York at the height of her career, moved into an empty opera house in an abandoned desert town, painted an entire audience on its walls, and performed there for the next 40 years whether anyone was there to watch or not.
Conceived and directed by Associate Professor of Theater Katie Pearl, this Wesleyan Theater Department production will feature a student cast, and will be created in rehearsal, taking inspiration from Becket’s life, vaudeville performance, artistic obsession, using “getting lost” as a strategy for finding oneself, and dust devils.
