23 Jan '18

Playwrights Local Presents A Staged Reading of a New Play Fantasies and Nightmares Written by Catie O’Keefe Directed by Jessica R Swank Saturday, January 27, 2018 at 2:00 pm FREE Creative Space at Waterloo Arts 397 E. 156th Street <https://maps.google.com/?q=397+E.+156th+Street%0D+%0D+Cleveland,+OH+44110&e…> Cleveland, OH 44110 <https://maps.google.com/?q=397+E.+156th+Street%0D+%0D+Cleveland,+OH+44110&e…> http://playwrightslocal.org/ <http://playwrightslocal.org/?utm_source=Subscribers&utm_campaign=c58d904c99…> FEATURING Andrea Belser McCormick Stuart Hoffman Julia Fisher Zach Zimmerman Jessica R Swank SYNOPSIS In 2006, Facebook was young, uncomplicated, and looking for friends — leading Ralph to remember his high school crush on Sally. But perhaps that’s not all he eventually recalls. Inspired by a dream, Ralph finds Sally online and soon his old feelings are reignited. As a way of seeing her again, he plans a wine and cheese party, announcing it with a Facebook event. As Ralph drifts into this dangerous territory, his wife Deb finds solace by caring for a bird with a broken wing. Deb is holding out hope that the impending soiree will jump start things at home, especially given their son’s recent absence. Ralph tries to shut out reality in favor of what a new fate might hold for him, but is jolted through fantasy and nightmare. Meanwhile, those around him seem to be plotting escapes of their own. INFO Presented as part of Playwrights Local’s Roundtable Series An open development workshop for all playwrights in Northeast Ohio For more info, visit http://www.playwrightslocal.org/winter-roundtable-series/ <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/winter-roundtable-series/?utm_source=Subscr…>
