A  Zoom Workshop Reading of a New Play by Caitlin Myers

SANDBAGS by Caitlin Myers5th play of theTPS 2020 VIRTUAL READING FESTIVALJanuary. 27 - February 5, 2021Directed by Adam Hughes

Years ago, Gloria, Rosie, Bugs, Tex and Little Bird found meaning in an anti-pipeline protest camp in rural Louisiana. But when the camp disintegrated, so did their relationships.  Now, they've all gone their separate ways, and the hurricane of the century is heading for the Gulf.  Their tensions and the intersections of their past, present and branching potential futures drive this story somewhere between memory and reality, between love and resentment, within the buildup to a coming, inescapable storm. And, Gloria forgot to buy groceries.Cast: Liggera Edmonds-Allen, Tony Nappo, Wesley Paine, Miranda Pepin, Melinda Sewak, Ted WelchTalkback (cameras optional) with playwright and director to follow.Visit the <a href="http://www.tnplaywrights.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tennessee Playwrights Studio website</a> for more information about this and the other five readings in the TPS 2020 Reading Festival.
