As part of CPT's commitment to local playwrights and producers, CPT presents the fourth year of Little Box, a series of staged readings of new work in development. Little Box is modeled after CPT's successful Big [BOX] Series but on a smaller scale, designed to foster works at an earlier stage of development.

Mercy for the Devil (or The Nature of Forgiveness) AND Captive Muses
Sunday, November 14th
3:00pm
Storefront Studio Theatre

Mercy for the Devil (or the Nature of Forgiveness)
Written by Lisa Langford and Michael Oatman
Directed by Michael Oatman
Featuring: Jerome Anderson, Katrina Bennamon, Stephen Hood, Marc Moore, Dianne Scott

Mercy for the Devil (or the Nature of Forgiveness) is a play about reconciliation. It takes place in Northern Uganda, where the Acholi people have been subjected to decades of terrorism by rebels and the government and are nearing the end of conflict. As the child soldiers who were abducted and forced to fight return home, everyone must grapple with what it means to forgive and be forgiven.

Captive Muses
Written by Cat R. Kenney
Directed by Margi Herwald-Zitelli
Featuring: John Busser, Kelly Elliott, Jessica Fleming, Stuart Hoffman, and Brian Pedaci

Captive Muses takes a comedic look at the life of Sarah, a frustrated artist who can't seem to paint anything really good or even attract the attention of a date. In her quest for inspiration, she accidentally stumbles on a real muse and captures him. When he turns out to be not exactly what she's looking for, her search takes her beyond mythology and museums to reflect upon the nature of art, love, and... balloon animals?
