Come see the first public reading of these six original plays, first drafted during a month-long writing challenge to our participating playwrights this past February! Tickets are free, but we encourage advance reservations due to limited seating! If the reading you want to attend is sold out please contact the organizer to be put on a waitlist.
Saturday, June 10
4:30pm
CHOCOLATE by David Myers
Even true lovers fight. Sometimes the biggest fights are over the smallest—and most delicious—things. A play about men, women, marriage, and sharing.
6pm
MEDUSA'S SONG by Jami Brandli
A modern-day reclaiming of the Medusa myth set on a college campus. The Golden Boy can run, but he can't hide.
8pm
FOOTPRINT by Jennie Webb
Anna is suddenly having difficulties navigating her life in LA. Is it being without a car or stalled by a "Denver Boot of Sorrow?" And then there's that body following her around.
9:30pm (or immediately following the final reading)
RECEPTION
Sunday, June 11
2:30pm
FLEDGLINGS by Brian James Polak
It's Y2K and five teenagers gather to celebrate the New Year. Things get out of hand as the teens drink more than they can handle. As the sun rises the boys are gone and Heather is left with foggy memories and a sinking feeling something horrifying happened after she passed out.
4:30pm
THE ESCAPE THINGY by Deb Hiett
Two very different couples meet in an Escape Room, each needing different types of escape. The clock is literally ticking as they attempt to solve the puzzles, navigate alternative facts, and weigh the risks of returning to the world outside.
6pm
EIGHT NIGHTS by Jennifer Maisel
1949. A young refugee starting anew in the United States confronts the past that haunts her. Can she move forward without forgetting those she loved?
