Beowulf Alley Theatre’s
PAGE ON THE STAGE
THE OUTRAGEOUS NEW PLAY FESTIVAL 2011
Final Weekend
Beowulf Alley Theatre’s Page on the Stage program offers its three new and exciting plays in FINAL workshop productions July 21st through the 24th at Beowulf Alley Theatre, 11 South 6th Avenue, downtown between Broadway and Congress.
Devin Gorman’s Icon tells the funny and moving story of a writer and artist who is catapulted to fame, and her dark secrets to get her there. Performance dates and times: Thursday, July 21; Saturday, July 23, both at 7:30 p.m.
“In Icon, Devin Gorman keeps the secret motivations of her characters so well disguised that when the neurotic muse-for-hire, hilariously played by Richard Cheney, uncovers the truth, you still can’t believe it. I found myself wanting more when the lights came up.” – a patron at post-show discussion
Jonathan Northover’s You Do Not Want to See This is a twisting, turning mystery of two defense lawyers and two suspects to a terrible crime. Performance dates and times: Friday, July 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, July 24 at 2:00 p.m.
“The relationship between the two childhood friends accused of a heinous crime was artfully played in the fashion of George and Lennie in Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men; and Northover scripts a twisting plot to a surprising conclusion making You Do Not Want to See This something you can’t stop watching.” – a patron at post-show discussion
Gavin Kayner’s Stephen’s Syndrome is a dark, funny, frightening meditation on illness, the past and the power of (dysfunctional) love. Performance date and time: Saturday, July 23 at 2:00 p.m.
“Awesome play, fantastic actors. Go see it if you can.” – a patron’s Facebook comment
