The First Word is where new plays take their very first breath. Over the course of an evening, we invite audiences to experience the excitement of live play readings—brand new scripts performed by local artists, read aloud for the very first time. This is theatre in its rawest, most electric form—no sets, no costumes, just the words, the actors, and the spark of story taking shape before your eyes. Join us as we celebrate new voices, nurture emerging playwrights, and explore the moment where imagination meets performance. Plays featured: Motherland by Lloyd DavisWinter, 1942. An area outside Stalingrad. The Soviet army has suffered greatly in the war so far, losing much territory and tenfold more lives than most other major nations. Moscow is at risk of falling to the enemy. The play takes place near the frontlines, in and around a barracks that houses this women’s sharpshooter unit. The trio are lethal, elite soldiers. The commander’s quarters are nearby, as are additional Soviet housing compounds and headquarters. A relationship develops between Dasha and a prisoner of war. Announcing our wonderful cast: Dasha - Alejandra Cruz Petra - Erin Bess Anya - Georgia Tooke Quiring Marina - Liz Carey Hans - Bill Allen Stage Directions/Narrator - Laurie Best Wedlock by David HeymanA man who is moments away from being sentenced to death for murdering his ex-wife’s abusive boyfriend tells his lawyer he will agree to plead guilty — and spare his ex the trauma of a lengthy mandatory series of appeals — if she’ll marry him again. This is despite the fact he would certainly spend the rest of his life in jail and be able to see her only one weekend a year. But he says that single weekend a year would be enough reason for him to live. His grateful ex-wife, who concedes he likely saved her life, has just a few minutes to decide before the judge issues his sentence. Announcing our wonderful cast: Otis- Ace (Andrew) Gabriel Athena- Lorene Cammiade Penny- Erin Sterling Judge- Wendy Magahay Al- Bill Allen
