SUMMARY:CORE Theatre's  40 Whacks\, the nightmare of Lizzie Borden
DESCRIPTION:CORE Theatre Ensemble presents an original performance based on the infamous trial of Lizzie Borden and the brutal ax murders of her parents. \nLove lives in dreams; guilt thrives in nightmares. \nThe Lizzie Borden murder case captivated the nation over one hundred years ago and is still considered “one of the most dastardly and diabolical crimes that was ever committed.” Andrew and Abby Borden’s bodies were found axed to death in their home in August 1892; their daughter Lizzie was arrested and charged days later. The case was surrounded by a passionately divided public. The opinion of women and the extent of their capabilities fueled an intense debate concerning her guilt or innocence. Lizzie was ultimately acquitted of all charges due to circumstantial evidence\, incompetent prosecution\, and the pervading delusion that a “woman is incapable of doing so foul a deed.” \nAge recommendation: 15+\nContent advisory: Blood\, violence\, sexual situations \n40 Whacks was originally conceived and performed in 2011 in Norfolk\, VA. It has since been performed at Fêtes Internationales du Théâtre-Quebec\, The Brick Theater-New York\, and Tarptautinis Universitetinių Teatrų Forumas IUTF-Lithuania where it was awarded for Best Production and Best Performer.

SUMMARY:Proteus New Play Festival: You Have to Hear What I Hear
DESCRIPTION:You Have to Hear What I Hear\nby Ernest A. White\, Jr.\nDirected by Patrick Mullins\, Asst Director: Jackie Adonis \nYou Have to Hear What I Hear! explores the polarization effect of being unable to accept an opinion that differs from your own. Using a recent internet phenomenon as an overarching lens\, the (mostly) humorous play examines historical\, fictional and current issues we have allowed to divide us\, to our detriment. \nThe Proteus New Plays Festival showcases staged readings of 4 scripts that have been developed in the Z Playwrights Lab or by Z Artist Members. The staged readings give the playwrights an opportunity to work with a director and a volunteer cast to see their script “on its feet” for the first time\, and add the most crucial element to developing a play\, The Audience! \nEach reading is presented twice during Proteus Festival. Audiences have the opportunity to rate the plays via a survey focused on the elements of writing an engaging script and story. Ratings are averaged to select the PNPF Audience Favorite. The Audience Favorite receives a workshop production 2-week run in June\, closing out our 24-25 Curtain Up! New Plays Series.
