Bridget Bean was facing the failures of both her transatlantic marriage to a Florida Man and of her theatrical career, when her life was saved by a traveling exhibition about history’s greatest maritime disaster. Working as an actress portraying a Titanic cabin steward, Bean shares tales of the doomed luxury liner’s passengers and crew with stoned schoolkids and film-obsessed tourists, while lusting after the attraction’s scowling security guard. When a mysterious time traveler offers her the chance to change history, will Bridget be able to turn back time and avert tragedy? Or is honoring victims by preserving their memories the best we can hope for?
What happens when respected playwrights like Lauren Gunderson and David Henry Hwang team up with 1
st Stage to produce an online reading of seven plays written by teens from around the county focusing on gun violence and headlined by acclaimed local acting talents? On December 14, 2020, we found out. It was a profoundly moving and encouraging evening of 1
st Stage’s Zoom production of “#Enough-Plays to End Gun Violence.” That date was chosen because it marked the 8
th anniversary of the shootings at Sandy Hook.
Bravo to all the young playwrights for opening up their hearts and minds by reminding us about gun violence in this country.
