Overview

Florence

by Honor Santa Barnes

Director – Leona Vaughan

Producer – El Blackwood

Have you ever wanted to be someone else? Someone confident? With the dream job? And the perfect friends?

If being yourself wasn’t enough, what lengths would you go to, to get what you want?

In her case, she created Florence. Florence allowed her to escape her past, join an elite friendship group and secure her dream job in an art dealership. 

But beneath the initial comedy and social satire, this play questions; is she running towards something, or away from something? How effective is a mask in hiding you from yourself?  

The Sun in Your Bones

by Adelaide Leonard & Robert Halvorson

Director – Robert Halvorson  

It’s fine – enough – for Maddy. But something out of her control helps her make a wrong decision, then another, and another, until she knows full well what she’s doing but does it anyway. It’s all to keep the pieces of her life together, and maybe God or a lover or her cards, those blessed cards, will stitch her fragments together, if they could only understand at the base of it is always love.
