 The Center for Applied Theatre and Active Culture & Wandering Aesthetics proudly present...
The Boiling Point: Akron's Alternative Play Reading Series

The Boiling Point  "keeps it gay" on Aug.12 at 8pm at the Balch Street Theater***
as we read the play Cock by Mike Bartlett as part of the 2014 Gay Games! 

Join us – as readers or audience members – for Mike Bartlett's Cock. 

When John takes a break from his boyfriend, he accidentally meets the girl of his dreams. 
Filled with guilt and indecision, he decides there is only one way to straighten this out… 

Visit: www.tinyurl.com/boilingpoint3  OR
Contact Nici Romo at Doodlebug7876 at aol.com for information.


The event is completely *FREE* but donations are greatly appreciated! 
(Imagine a bunch of Akron's coolest people reading a play out loud and discussing it! 
Because that's EXACTLY what this!) 


The Boiling Point is that wild moment where internal pressures surpass outer,

 triggering a transformation. “Alternative” plays serve as our fuel to ignite the 

minds of Akronites. By reading a diverse array of texts, we set ablaze different 

genres, aesthetics and cultures– especially those works beyond the scope of 

traditional American theatre. The friction between these new encounters and their 

resulting conversations will generate the spark of fresh ideas that will take Akron 

to The Boiling Point.

A collaborative partnership between The Highland Square Neighborhood Association, The Center for Applied Theatre and Active Culture and the Wandering Aesthetics. This workshop series is designed for performers of all experience levels; to enhance their onstage presence, work through stage fright, brush up on invaluable performances skills and practice in front of an audience before the festival. Each session is designed as a one-off workshop geared toward developing tools to nurture onstage success.

August 30, 10 AM - 12 PM: Do Not Be Dismissed: Presence and Energy in Performance

Participants are encouraged, but not required, to attend all four sessions. However, we believe performers will gain the most by participating in every session. Participants will see their progress by "checking in" with a piece they've prepared in advance.
