SUMMARY:A Staged Reading of Eyes Shut. Door Open. by Cassie Seinuk
DESCRIPTION:Gods and monsters don’t need an invitation. Neither do brothers. Eyes Shut. Door Open. is a psychological horror play dressed in the glamour of the New York art scene. TURNER STREET has everything — the paintings\, the opening\, the girl. What he doesn’t have is an exit from his past. Not with Palmer at the door. Not with Johanna’s real agenda sharpening in the dark. And not with the shadow that’s been waiting at the edge of every good thing Turner has ever had. One apartment. One night. One living nightmare. Can you own what you built from someone else’s suffering? \n\n\n\nCassie M. Seinuk (WSS\, June 2013 & Mentor) – PlaywrightChristopher Randolph – DirectorMichael Underhill – TURNEREmma Svitil – JOHANNAGilberto Saenz – PALMERJaine Ye – Stage Direction ReaderPatrick R.

SUMMARY:Close Distance Disappearing Acts - Stage Production
DESCRIPTION:Not all RomComs deserve a happily ever after. But this one might just kill for it. \n\n\n\nClose Distance Disappearing Acts is sexy\, funny\, and deliciously dangerous. ANDY is a quirky vigilante on a mission: clearing nerd conventions of “bad bad men.” PETER is the kind of man who shouldn’t exist — unapologetically Irish\, built like a god\, and offering his very specific services on the dark web. She hired him. Somewhere between the blood and the bodies\, it became something else entirely. \n\n\n\nDescribed as Dexter meets When Harry Met Sally\, this suspenseful\, sexy 90-minute two-hander asks the most relatable questions of all: who deserves love — and what do you owe the person who made you who you are? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCassie M.

SUMMARY:Community Reading: Poetry\, Philosophy\, Fiction--Come as You Are
DESCRIPTION:Come to the Little Crepe Cafe on Wednesday\, September 16th\, for the first of a series of encounters between the artistic world\, the intellectual world\, and the activist world. The reading event is hosted by Angelo D’Amato\, Jr. (Fiction\, June 2020). \n\n\n\nFeatured speakers include members of the Massachusetts Coalition for the Prevention of Gun Violence\, members of City Night Readings\, and representatives of the Platypus Review. These three very different frameworks for engaging with society’s ills are often in conflict with one another…but that need not be the case. How can we learn from each other\, so that\, to borrow a phrase from Robin Williams\, our words and ideas can change the world? \n\n\n\nPeople unable to attend the event in person may watch over Zoom.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Blue Life by Mundy McLaughlin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this virtual launch of Mundy McLaughlin’s (Fiction\, January 2019) debut novel\, Blue Life! \n\n\n\nBlue Life follows the divergent paths of an art student and an aspiring actress who meet as performers in the legendary “Go-Go” dancing scene of late 1970s New Jersey. With their shared experiences Luna and Didi form an instant connection\, but while Luna’s path ascends through her work as a burgeoning artist in New York City\, Didi’s life spirals downwards. \n\n\n\nA compelling story of friendship\, loyalty and love as well as the devastating effects of mental illness\, Blue Life offers a unique look at the seedy New Jersey go-go scene\, the vibrant clubs of New York City in the late ’70s and early ’80s and the East Village’s vibrant art scene. \n\n\n\nBlue Life transports readers to a unique time when everything felt like it should be possible\, offering an unflinching look behind the perceived boundaries of friendship and the limits of sexual power with a cast of memorable characters whose individual stories live with you long after the story is over.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMundy will be joined in conversation by her fellow fiction alumna\, Liz Shick. Discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
