In preparation for the event, we invite you to read our two featured scripts. Click the link to read! This month we will be featuring:

Somewhere On Santa Monica by Hilary Bluestein-Lyons (she/they)

Dramaturg: Kamilah Bush (she/her)

Lahar Zone by Jessi Pitts (she/her/any)

Dramaturg: Alexis Williams (she/her)

If you would like to review the content warning for these scripts, you may do so here.

The evening will be an open discussion about these plays guided by our dramaturgs. The dramaturgs will ask you to share your experience and thoughts on the play, and ask questions that will help productively guide the playwright on further developing their piece. Before heading into the discussion, here are some questions to ponder as you read the piece. While we may not ask you these direct questions, this is a good start in building a framework of how to talk about these works. Link to Questions.

If you have any questions please contact literarymanager@athenaprojectarts.org. Otherwise we'll see you at the event!
