Reading of a one-act play by Rachel Crouthamel, SLAM Champion September 2009

Directed by Jason Surratt

About SLAM @ The Tank:

SLAM Theater invites artists and audiences to get involved in the process of making theater. Playwrights bring fresh scripts, and actors are called out of a hat to perform timed segments, completely unrehearsed. After each round, the judges score the plays, moving the top-scoring plays to the next round. Winning writers get to unveil more of their work, acting as director or bringing one in to give timed notes. SLAM is an evening of theater with impromptu performance, spontaneous collaboration, and friendly competition.

Now in it's fourth year, SLAM Theater continues to encourage new voices, opening up a stage for diverse writers to develop work. SLAM is open to everyone. Anyone can come in, throw down a script, put their name in the actor pool, and get involved. A community has grown around SLAM -- a group of artists who come regularly to support each other, and give each other honest feedback in a raw, immediate setting. Each month, our SLAM Champion is given The Tank's space to put on a staged reading of their work. Many artists come and end up maKing Strong connections and creative relationships that continue to develop outside of SLAM. SLAM is always growing and expanding. Actors, bring your talent. Playwrights, bring your scripts. Audience, bring your voice. Come SLAM!
