08 Nov '21

Playwrights Local Presents A Staged Reading of a New Play THE MIRROR EFFECT Written by Oana Leuca Directed by Christine McBurney Thursday, November 11 | 7:00 pm Free | Tickets or Reservations Not Required Playwrights Local 397 East 156th Street Cleveland, OH 44110 INFO www.playwrightslocal.org/2021-2022-roundtable-series/ SAFETY Audience members will be required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 and to wear masks inside the venue.

FEATURING Lana Sugarman Samantha Cocco Heidi Hackney Molly McFadden Amiee Collier Nadia Tarnawsky Tammy Shanley SYNOPSIS The Mirror Effect presents Amanda Reis, a self-searching female writer who explores her inner life through language and disguise. Her story is inspired by the lives and work of other female artists (Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, Anne Sexton, Marylin Monroe, etc.). Her poetic monologue is an astronaut’s shout in space, a place where sound waves can’t travel. She is a clown afraid of clowns, an actress trying to free herself from her persona.

At the 2020 NEOMFA Playwrights Festival, convergence-continuum produced one of her plays, Autopoiesis. In April 2020, she won the Leonard Trawick Scholarship in creative writing.
