Step Into Stone Soup For More XX Fun!

Staged Reading, April 7, 2011, of "Amber & Air" by Kelly Dumar with (r to l) Ariel Lauryn, Cole Stevens, and Catherine Smith (director) Photo by K. Lindsay

Week two, April 14 – 17, 2011, of the Stone Soup Theatre Double (XX) Play Fest continues strong, with plenty to witness, experience and enjoy.  This week features a new selection of short works written by female playwrights, directed by female directors and performed by some of Seattle’s finest, underexposed talents.  Also this week, check out the outrageous 24-Hour All-Female Play Production marathon, where three playwrights write three plays overnight, and then three directors and 9 actors stage the works.

Just as in week one, plays performed this week – at 8p Thu – Sat, and 2p on Sun – will be adjudicated by two professional writers, and the audience.  The plays are:

  • What Happens in Verona by Lea Galanter, directed by Amy Sedgwick
  • The Belle of Staten Island by Penny Jackson, directed by Renee Cyr
  • Hypochondria by Deborah Harbin, directed by Simone Barron
  • Landis and the Bear by Catherine Berg, directed by Margie Slovan
  • The Wedding Ring by Rebecca Haber, directed by Lenore Bensinger
  • Operation Sweet Dreams by Suzanne Bailie, directed by Samantha Sherman
