Leer y despotricar - 15 de agosto de 2022

Read & Rant es el club de lectura del Proyecto Atenea que explora obras escritas principalmente por mujeres. Leemos uno o dos guiones o materiales auxiliares durante el mes y normalmente nos reunimos cada tercer lunes en línea a través de Zoom, para discutir las obras. Aprenda en qué consiste un buen guión, discuta cómo nos afecta y explore las formas en que se relaciona con el mundo en general. Únase a nosotros para conversar con invitados que aportan una base de conocimientos en profundidad. Esta oferta mensual gratuita a la comunidad pretende concienciar sobre la infrarrepresentación de las historias de mujeres en los escenarios.

Starting in Enero of 2022, we will be exploring and uplifting new plays written primarily by women playwrights through our Read & Rant program! Each month, we will feature one to two scripts that have never been professionally produced and invite the playwright to join our conversation.

Guided by a dramaturg, we invite you to share your constructive comments, thoughts, and affirmations in order to aid in the development process of the piece. Curious to learn more about new play development and the role of a dramaturg? Join us each month to hear from a professional dramaturg about their past experiences and favorite new play development practices.

This month we will be featuring playwright Karen Cecilia’s Perfectly Normal:

Gillian and Arthur have been married for years. She supports his high-level position, putting her own ambitions aside. Their daughter is a television journalist and their son is at Yale. Accusations about Arthur’s misconduct start to rise, investigated by his daughter’s reporting. This powerful play examines the #metoo movement and the emotional strain when family loyalty and conscience collide.

Dramaturgy by Sarah Johnson.

After you register for a session, you will receive information on how to access or where to purchase our featured script(s). Please know that if a script involves a purchase and that creates a hardship for you, please reach out and we will take care of it for you. We want everyone to participate who would like to learn more about these talented women and their plays.
