The Workshop: From Alan Cumming to Fort Wayne -The Timekeepers Journey
Alan Cumming and Ron Rifkin did the first reading of The Timekeepers Off-Broadway. From there it went to London, then Israel, back to London, New York, Houston, Germany, Poland, Canada, South Africa, Edinburgh, etc. This workshop will inform you on how the show got to these countries and the changes the script went through because of these numerous productions.
Workshop conducted by Dan Clancy, International Playwright, Playwright of The Timekeepers
Struggling For My Sanity by Rachael Kooi
3rd Place Winning Play - Stage Reading Saturday, June 4 at Noon
The characters in the mind of Grace are affected by, and affect, everything in her life. The Boss juggles their conflicts, resentments, grudges, jealousies and perceived injustices until they band together against her. In an attempt to calm her characters and regain control of her head, The Boss allows them to run amok and try to solve the situation themselves. When she's had her fill of chaos, Grace makes decisions that will restore order to her life.
Guest Director: Diane Shaw
