This evening of three one-act plays explores the particularities of womanhood and the hope of those who wait.
From the show:
FIXIN’ takes place at the bottom. Ruthy waits in abandoned supermarket parking lot everyday. Willa wants to know what a dog and their ex-foster mother/Madam, “Mama”, has to do with it.
GAMEPLAY is as much about the inane rules of Brooklyn dating/hookup culture as it is a cheeky, Scrabble-filled wink at Waiting for Godot.
WATER STRIDER / JESUS BUG was written in conversation with Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles.” In a 1965 NYC laundromat, Indie and Rhea are keeping secrets from each other for the first time in their unlikely friendship.
This play was a finalist for the 2017 Judith Barlow Prize by History Matters/Back to the Future, an organization dedicated to celebrating historic women’s plays.
