RWT variety - Emerging done; Bare Bones coming!

[Jane Zussman]

The Emerging Playwrights Festival of short plays written by VERY imaginative high schoolers was in Riverwalk’s packed Black Box last Saturday was a wild variety of shows and readings: The Chicaneries Murder of a Sunscreen Salesperson by Malia Reitz — as crazy as it sounds — with elegant period costumes and a magic bubble machine. Duncan’s Dragontail by Gail Maynard featured fun shadow puppets. A Lone Woman’s Voice by Rachel Rowan brought a dark shade of depression. Lightning from Heaven revealed a murderous roommate, and Melanie by AJ Triantaflos showed us unsettling what-if’s and a mysterious advisor. Thanks to directors Tom Ferris and Susan Chmurynsky and the talented cast: Elena Billard, Megan Harma, Julie Franklin, Charles Hoogstraten, Holly Kay-Cannon, Vahlaree Kakela, Rebecca Lane, Tim Lewis, Rachel Mender, Elizabeth Sauter, Xia Skowronek, and Mike Sobocinski.

Too bad if you missed that. Watch for next year’s Emerging Playwrights winners!

But wait, there’s more!

Bare Bones improv group is BA-aack after its hit show last fall, making it all up as they go along with surprising creativity and talent. I was amazed by their quick wits and agile antics and have my tix for Saturday. This time they have TWO “adult” shows Friday and Saturday plus a “family friendly” shorter show on Sunday afternoon.

General seating and tickets at the door while they last — but I’d strongly advise buying tickets online in advance because these smaller-capactity Black Box Riverwalk shows can easily sell out. DIScount if you are a Riverwalk MEMber ($15/$10) which we should ALL be, in light of shaky arts funding these days — let’s put the comMUNity in community theatre!
