The Brookside Project Debuts Six Original One-Acts With STALLING, AND OTHER STORIES

The Brookside Project will continues their commitment to producing new, original theatre with its upcoming production, Stalling, and Other Stories. Five Brookside artists - Creative Director Noah Todd and Brookside regulars Jamie Leo, Miriam Holsbeke, Alexander C. Simmons, and Gavin Damian-Loring - have written and workshopped six scripts attempting to answer the question, "Where are our most intimate conversations taking place out in the real world?" The setting of each play: a bathroom. Stalling, and Other Stories explores the nature of new and old relationships through the lens of a traditionally private location, in houses, restaurants, apartments, at parties, with strangers, with old friends, and between missed connections. The collected plays are:
