Join us Wednesday, May 9th at 8pm for a public Staged Reading of MFA UT Playwriting graduate Hannah Bisewski’s newest play An Ordinary String.
An Ordinary String is a mind-bending play within-a-play-within-a-play, in which stories encompass wandering theatre troupes, a steampunk turn-of-the-century magician, and an Old World cabaret. Audience members enter this theatrical realm faced with a choice: the seat chosen around this four-sided set constructed of four equilateral stages determines one of four possible realities to be experienced. Three sides of the story remain a mystery.
What will you choose?
Bisewski originally developed and premiered An Ordinary String, co-directed by Melanie Scruggs and Hannah Bisewski, last fall during its earliest stages as part of the Plan II-affiliated Broccoli Project’ at the University of Texas.
Following the Blue Theatre Staged Reading of An Ordinary String on Wednesday, May 9th at 8 p.m., the original production’s set design remains on exhibit in our SecondStage Gallery Space throughout the month.
Open Exhibit Hours: Thursdays thru Sundays, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Staged Reading and Exhibit Tours are FREE to attend and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Reception to Follow.
New Plays Series/Writer Development Program is designed to give emerging playwrights an opportunity to develop new works for the stage through open public staged readings held throughout the season. We encourage you to attend talk-backs with playwright, actors and director following each performance as feedback and open discussion play a fundamental part in the writer’s creative process.
