Fathom of Women and Water
by Shrewd Productions
Sep. 04 - Sep. 05
Thursday-Friday
Join us for an evening of readings of new plays in progress, exploring women's relationship to water and how it shaped their lives. Part one of the FATHOM of Women and Water performance theater project holding a vision to honor and feature women artists in mid-career.
The two original one act plays, QUARRY RATS by Candyce L Rusk, set at a Wisconsin quarry in the 1970s, and EVELYN'S SALT by Tristan Y Mercado, set on a North Carolina coastline, engage memory and fragments of magical realism, written by daughters who reimagine and honor their mother's experiences with water as a resource and an escape.
Directed by Ellie McBride, each play offers evocative and very different roles and arcs to five brillant actors, asked to bring forth the complexities inherent in each character they portray.
The staged readings will take place at kidsActing Studio, 6259 Middle Fiskville Road, Suite 2150, Austin, a new theater space located next to the ASF Cinema in the Linc.
