Wrapping Up the Semester

Moving into the final weeks of the Fall 2018 semester, I wanted to share the success of my academic and artistic groups.

On Monday 12/3/18 my HON 300: Intro to Service Learning class will be hosting a lunch-and-learn to promote New Haven Housing Services and their rain garden program. The event will be held at 2:00 PM in the Southern Connecticut State University Michael J. Adanti Student Center Room 301A. My group created a how-to maintenance video about basic upkeep of a rain garden where I directed, edited, and performed the cinematography.
My COM 360: Field Production class recreated a scene from the short film Ctrl Z as a two person dialogue project. Below is an example of our classwork and my work as a director.
Finally the SCSU Crescent Players had an extremely successful run of the Pulitzer Prize winning Paula Vogel play How I Learned to Drive where I performed the role of Peck. Here is a link to a review of the show.
SCSU Students Learn To Drive—And Tackle Pedophilia
On my performance:
"So too a smooth-talking and particularly unctuous Carubia as Uncle Peck, fitting so well into what theater critic Ben Brantley once called “a pedophile even a mother could love.” There’s Uncle Peck, the Southern gentleman and endearing black sheep of the family, just trying to do right by himself and his kin. Or Peck the pedophile with a hidden darkroom, priming his niece for photoshoots in Playboy. Carubia gives a terrifying, devastating performance that is wise beyond his years, less the jumper cable, and more the spark that comes flying off of it. In character, he is so convincing you have to shake it out after the play."
Congratulations to my very talented cast and crew!
