Description

Desert Girl, Pray for Rain

Written by Travis Curran
Directed by Judy Goell

"You're probably reading this before the play starts, right? Since I can't gauge what time you showed up relative to when the play is going to start I guess I'll be brief. I hate.calling myself a writer. Everybody writes. You're a writer. And if you don't think so, you certainly could. Let's all make a mad dash for Hollywood while this. strike thing still lasts, right? ·Right. · I don't write poetry, Ross does. I write fiction and plays. But they're .basically the same idea. Pretty words strung along together. Reading, hearing, speaking, writing .. We love'm. I don't quite get why, but I dig it too. I'm really thankful the department' gave me this opportunity on my last year here. And thank you· guys for coming. I hope you like the pretty words, and I hope they mean as much to you as they do to me." - Travis Curran

Lot's Wife

Written by Travis Grant
Directed by Judy Goell

"Lot's Wife" is a piece that.deals with very.serious, often times hard to discuss subject matter. It is a piece that doesn't sugar coat anything for the actors, or for you, the audience. · It is in this raw emotion that we are collectively able to experience empathy for the characters, and what has come to be known as "acceptable grief." The edges are frayed, and the end doesn't tie up into a nice, neat little bow. It is in the unresolved that we find resolution." - Travis Grant

This production was entered in the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) 40.
