Baltimore Playwrights Festival Presents Abraham & Isaac, Opens 8/11

The Baltimore Playwrights Festival (www.baltplayfest.com) announces the August 11th opening of Abraham & Isaac, by Steve Schulze, to be produced by Theatrical Mining Company at Le Clerc Hall, College of Notre Dame, 4701 N. Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21210. Performances are Thursday-Saturday at 8pm, Sundays at 7pm, through August 28th. Reservations are recommended, and may be made on-line at www.originalplays.com/tmc, or by calling 410-710-8166.

Directed by Barry Feinstein, Abraham & Isaac takes place in the wake of a Columbine-like shooting when Charles Barrow, whose daughter has been killed, captures the one shooter who fled the scene, secrets him in a remote hunting camp, and abandons him in a dry well to die. His return to rescue the boy results in their isolation together at the camp, a dangerously volatile situation that ends for Charlie in a near-mystical state of compassion. 

Steve Schulze is a Zoo Keeper (true), former teacher, former laborer, former many things. He turned to writing stage plays several years ago, after a lifetime of apprenticeship in other literary forms. He has been married 27 years.
