30/60/90 is back!

cjmoore2008-06-02T15:27:22-05:00June 2nd, 2008|events for members|

This program, focused on the daily practice of writing and inspired by Suzan-Lori Parks' 365 Days/365 Plays project, was such a hit last year that we just had to bring it back. In 2002, Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright decided to write a play a day for a year. The resulting play cycle, called 365 Days/365 Plays, is a daily meditation on artistic life, and a radical reinterpretation of what it means to be creative. (For more information on 365, please go to www.365days365plays.com.) Austin Script Works is offering our own opportunity to practice daily creativity through 30/60/90.

Gillian's (W)hole by Tracie Gardner Sunday, May 18th @6:30pm State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. Gillian's (W)hole During a stay in a hospital emergency room after accidentally almost killing herself, beleaguered single mother Gillian Banks is startled to learn that her hope has fallen out of her- quite literally, in the form of a woman named Ara. Despite doubts about her own sanity, Gillian grudgingly accepts Ara's strange presence, and the two are dropped back into Gillian's anguish-laden life. Guilt, despair, and outrage over gender stereotypes and an inadequate justice system flood in on a tide of embittered humor as Ara slides ever closer to extinction in the grip of Gillian's vicious nightmares. Gillian's only hope for her "hope" breathes in the dead, their influence tethered along a curious lifeline strung from the poetry of Emily Dickinson.
