First Look series 24-25

Just for the Campus Community!

During Fall and Winter we will present 3 free staged readings in the Fess Parker Studio Theatre of plays under consideration for a future season. These showcases are designed to expand our curriculum, engage more voices, and give more people (actors and audiences alike) an opportunity to participate in the offerings of our season.

 

Anon(ymous) script cover

by Naomi Iizuka

October 4 @ 7 PM

"Separated from his mother, a young refugee called Anon journeys through the United States, encountering a wide variety of people -- some kind, some dangerous and cruel -- as he searches for his family. From a sinister one-eyed butcher to beguiling barflies to a sweatshop, Anon must navigate through a chaotic, ever-changing landscape in this entrancing adaptation of Homer's Odyssey." -- Playscripts


In The Blood script cover

by Suzan-Lori Parks
directed by Aldo Billingslea

November 4 @ 7 PM

In a 21st century version of The Scarlet Letter, in a society where the odds are stacked against a poor single mother, how can Hester get ahead with her five kids?


Thanksgiving Play script cover

by Larissa FastHorse
directed by Lazlo Pearlman

January 24 @ 7 PM

"Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally woke teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month." -- Concord Theatricals
