READINGS

Part of our STAGES mandate is to include programming in every stage of development. This year we are offering four readings. The three listed below are all members of our Emerging Playwrights Program and we are thrilled to show the community what they've been working on. Jamie Bradley and Scott Owen's Parlour Tricks will also be included in the reading portion of the programming, but the new musical will be doing a Sing-Through for the festival as part of their developmental process!

Love, Peace and Hairgrease by Tara Taylor (excerpts)

Lila Johnson takes over the legacy of her grandmothers’ salon and renames it, “Love, Peace and Hairgrease” Hair studio plus; an Ebonics term meaning “bye”. This venture has come at a great cost. When they told her she couldn’t, she did anyway. How does one find love and peace in the midst of Hairgrease and life storms?

Say bye to … fear, scrub boyfriends, old habits, relaxers, wigs, weaves, and stressed HAIR!

Rock n Roll Saved My Life​ by Sam Horak

Rock n Roll Saved My Life is a darkly comedic and hyper meta tale about a young punk rock women discovering how to use her past traumas to fuel her art. A playwright sets out to present a flashy show about how “rock n roll saved her life” but everything goes awry when she is confronted by her past self; a young punk rock women struggling with mental health issues and a sexual assault. After much judgement and denial, she finally finds acceptance with herself.
