Theater is back on the menu with dreams and cantatas

Act I: Ixion dreams under the open air
Are you dreaming about seeing live theater again? Then put on your mask and head outdoors to Delta Township’s Sharp Park and catch the second weekend of Ixion’s collection of short plays on the subject of “Dreams.”
Seven actors and six directors take on the collection of new works, competing with the honks of geese and the winds of May to tell six stories:
● “Goodmares” by Ron Burch, directed by Sara Frank-Hepfer
● “Scream” by George Sapio, directed by Judith Evans

The upcoming season, later than Shea s plan to re-open in September, makes RLTP the first local theater to announce a full season, albeit with 4 plays instead of the usual 5. Behrend says that this will give RLTP the ability to extend each play s run, should future regulations limit attendance on any given evening.
As with all theaters, it s financially necessary to achieve 100% of planned ticket sales. Hopefully that will mean 100% of the audience seats will be filled on any given night, but if 100% of necessary ticket sales have to be spread out over more time, the organization can handle that.
Now, I give you a 28 plays by queer playwrights in 28 days reading list.
We have some of my all time favorites like Jen Silverman and Jan Rosenberg. I reread their plays as if the meaning of life is hidden in the text.
I could only choose so many Rachel Lynett and Gina Femia plays. I could make a whole calendar of just their plays. better yet an advent calendar, but it counts down to pride month instead of the holidays!
Contact me on social media (@macymcowart) or through my website www.macymaecowart.com/contact. Let me know that you would like to be added to the February play reading list and I will get you set up!
