SLAC announces upcoming season
Kicking off the season will be "The Overwhelming," by award-winning playwright J.T. Rogers. The play, which was developed at SLAC and premiered in London, is a powerful drama about a man who takes his family to Rwanda just as the country is heading toward genocide.
Other offerings include:
"Six Years," by Sharr White. When Phil Granger, a World War II vet, finally decides to turn up, after disappearing, his wife must take in a very different man from the one who left six years earlier.
"Dark Play (or stories for boys)" by Carlos Murillo. Inspired by his teacher's description of a theatrical game, where one player knows the rules and the other doesn't even know they're in the game, a teenage boy begins a role-playing fiction online that tumbles into the real world.
"End Days," by Deborah Zoe Laufer, is an apocalyptic comedy about faith, love and hope. Meet the Steins: Mom has taken Jesus into her life — literally (he's in the kitchen); Dad hasn't been out of his pajamas since 9/11; and daughter Rachel is a Goth and means it. With the world scheduled to end on Wednesday, enter neighbor Nelson. He has a serious crush on Rachel and a penchant for dressing like Elvis and, he's their brightest hope.
