Following the May 14th performance, there will be a public response session with Gary Garrison, Executive Director of the Dramatists Guild and author of Perfect Ten: Writing and Producing the Ten Minute Play and A More Perfect Ten.
This program, focused on the daily practice of writing and inspired by Suzan-Lori Parks' 365 Days/365 Plays project, is back for the fourth year. 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.
Dallas Two short pieces by Gary Swaim will be read Tuesday night, May 18th at 7:00pm at the Irving Arts Center, 3333 North MacArthur Blvd. (map) in Irving. Austin The Bonobos by Amparo Garcia-Crow Sunday, May 23rd @ 6:30pm The State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. (map) Divorced couple Lorenzo and Antonia have been having an affair. When a cyber porn unit comes knocking on Lorenzo's door during a tryst, the couple discovers that Tiffany, their seventeen-year-old daughter has been starring in and selling internet "instructive videos" falsely implicating Lorenzo as a child pornographer. In the process of defending his innocence, the hypocrisies of sex in one family illuminates the "missing link" that might just bring them all back together again.
