Having finished his bachelor’s in Literature (Creative Writing) and masters in Theater Arts (Playwriting) at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Stephen Richter heard that Translation and Adaptation Studies would be offered within the Literature doctoral program. He started the program this fall, and shares here his research interests, his path to graduate school, and what kept him at UC Santa Cruz for his doctoral studies.

Stephen’s play Marqués will be holding open auditions, campus-wide. A Q&A for the play, held in the first week of winter quarter 2016, will include materials for non-Theater Arts students to use to prepare for the audition process. Visit the Marqués website for details.
