Here are the details:
"Feminist Plays about Nothing" Free Staged Reading and Talk-Back!
"Feminist Plays about Nothing," an evening of free staged readings of comedic short plays, takes place Saturday, January 26 at 7:00pm at Center on Halsted, 3656 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60613. Quirky, fast-paced, and layered, the plays zip from topic to topic, finding humor in simple misunderstandings, intricacies of relationships, and the seemingly mundane. Audience members are invited to stick around after the readings to participate in a talk-back to help shape the future of these short plays.
The scripts, all credited to queer feminist playwright Lucca Suvi, were workshopped in Stockyards Theatre Project's "Play for Keeps" program and are now being further developed by Full Voice. The ensemble of actors and directors includes Ashely Bagot, Laura Elleseg, Elana Elyce, Crystal Hartford, Lauren Hearter, Richard Paro, Breahan Eve Pautsch, Francesca Peppiatt, Cyra K. Polizzi, and more.
So that everyone is welcome, the performance is absolutely free and accessible on the 2nd floor via an elevator. Seating in the conference room is first-come first-served once the doors open at 6:45. For more information, or to arrange for special needs, please email info@fullvoice.org
