FRIDAY, June 11th   Post show

E-pisodes: The Facebook Dialogues


Five adventurous writers use social media — Facebook, Twitter, MySpace — as inspiration for five quick and dirty, ten-minute, small-cast plays read by facile and spontaneous Denver actors. The readings will be followed by a discussion about the process, the plays themselves, and social media's influence on art.


SATURDAY, June 12th * 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

BEGINNINGS: GETTING INTO THE PLAY Taught by celebrated playwright Judy GeBauer. Cost: $30.00 per person (Space is limited!)


You want to get your audience to STOP and you want them to STAY. The workshop examines some strategies for beginning a play, finding a way into the world of the play and the characters' lives. Lots of writing. Some playscript analysis. Feedback.


SATURDAY, June 12th

RAP/WRAP PARTY! 9:30 p.m. (post show)

The Charisma Contest by Coleen Hubbard

Directed by Jim Hunt


In the office of a popular women's magazine, the editorial staff sponsors a readers’ contest to nominate men and women who have an extra dose of that most admired — and often misunderstood — human quality: charisma. As the nomination letters and emails pour in, four staff members are over-whelmed with the dramatic and hilarious stories about the charismatic individuals we all love — and sometimes hate.


featuring: Josh Hartwell, Laura Norman, Jim Hunt, and Gracie Carr


Friday, June 11 at 7:00 p.m.

Lost Creatures by Melissa Lucero McCarl

Directed by Patrick Elkins-Zeglarski


Ailing British theatre critic Kenneth Tynan arrives at the door of iconic silent film star Louise Brooks with whom he has been obsessed for years. He intends to interview her for a profile in The New Yorker, but both parties embark on a journey of riled ghosts and revealing insights, catalyzed by an abundance of sexually charged repartee and a fine Burgundy.


featuring: Paul Borillo, Billy McBride, and Erica Borillo.


Saturday, June 12 at 7:00 p.m.

Breslin Rayhope by Judy GeBauer

Directed by Stephen Lavezza


A talented and gifted high school student has jazzy parents, a comfortable life, and may be on her way to Princeton, when she witnesses a horrific crime committed by someone she loves. She must choose between love and duty. Breslin Rayhope explores the complexities and consequences involved in doing the right thing.


featuring: Marcus Waterman, Gabriella Cavallero, Mark Rubald, Leslie O’Carroll, Jessica Robblee, Melissa Scher, Tom McIntyre, and Luciann Lajoie.
