Matthews’ next directing project is an ambitious production of King Richard III at Santa Ana College, a creative space made possible because of Amberly Chamberlin, the theatre department chair, who champions giving creatives a space to hone their craft.

You have to register, and the school frames it as emerging artist having a space to do stuff. The department is shrinking in terms of its student body and The chair Amberly Chamberlin is trying to utilize it. So, I’m grateful she’s giving us the space to work and hone our craft.
King Richard III will run from March 30 – April 2, 2023. Full interview: https://theorangecurtainrev.com/surrealism-of-the-heart-fullerton-playwright-matthew-hayashi/
