Blackjack Rewrite Company

Blackjack Rewrite Company celebrates storytelling through original plays inspired by Route 66. They empower local playwrights, directors, and actors to explore themes of love, transformation, and resilience, fostering community connections through art.

Welcome to the Fringe...Five stops. One road. Where holding on, letting go, and becoming meet.&nbsp; In celebration of the Mother Road&rsquo;s 100th anniversary, Blackjack Rewrite Company presents five original short plays telling diverse stories from the famed highway. The plays were written by local playwrights and will be directed and performed by local directors and actors. Across brief stops on America&rsquo;s most iconic highway, ordinary travelers confront moments of reckoning&mdash;where love, fear, memory, and transformation surface when the road demands more than forward motion. Hitting the Road (Susan Apker) On a forgotten stretch of the Mother Road, a long-married couple&rsquo;s detour opens a quiet reckoning with time, change, and the decision to keep moving forward together. Encounter (Michael Wright) A pause along Route 66 allows a young woman to reflect on love, independence, and the myths that shape who we think we should become. Tornado Alley (Sarah Noe) When a sudden storm halts travelers at a Route 66 caf&eacute;, fear, wonder, and long-held assumptions collide, forcing a reckoning with risk, protection, and letting go. She Who Talks in Ju&aacute;rez Wakes Up with Ants in Her Mouth (Shadia Dahlal) After a violent roadside incident on Route 66, a group of travelers hovers between hope and loss, confronting the fragile boundary between escape, survival, and the unknown. Mother Roadside (Bonny Wicks) An unplanned stop on Route 66 pushes a friendship into unfamiliar territory, revealing how trust and resilience surface when control gives way to necessity. Join us for ONE NIGHT ONLY at the 2026 Tulsa Fringe Festival. Presented at Dennis R. Neill Equality Center, 621 S 4th St., Tulsa, OK, in partnership with Echo Theatre Company and Twisted Arts. Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable.

What A Mother! - Tales From Route 66

Bienvenido a la Fringe... Cinco paradas. Un camino. Donde aferrarse, dejar ir y convertirse se encuentran.&nbsp; En celebraci&oacute;n del 100 aniversario de la Mother Road, Blackjack Rewrite Company presenta cinco obras cortas originales que cuentan diversas historias de la famosa carretera. Las obras fueron escritas por dramaturgos locales y ser&aacute;n dirigidas e interpretadas por directores y actores locales. A lo largo de breves paradas en la carretera m&aacute;s ic&oacute;nica de Am&eacute;rica, viajeros comunes enfrentan momentos de verdad&mdash;donde el amor, el miedo, la memoria y la transformaci&oacute;n surgen cuando el camino exige m&aacute;s que movimiento hacia adelante. Hitting the Road (Susan Apker) En un tramo olvidado de la Mother Road, el desv&iacute;o de una pareja casada desde hace mucho tiempo abre un silencioso cuestionamiento sobre el tiempo, el cambio y la decisi&oacute;n de seguir adelante juntos. Encuentro (Michael Wright) Una pausa a lo largo de la Ruta 66 permite a una joven reflexionar sobre el amor, la independencia y los mitos que moldean qui&eacute;n creemos que deber&iacute;amos ser. Tornado Alley (Sarah Noe) Cuando una tormenta repentina detiene a los viajeros en un caf&eacute; de la Ruta 66, el miedo, la maravilla y las suposiciones de larga data chocan, forzando un cuestionamiento sobre el riesgo, la protecci&oacute;n y el dejar ir. She Who Talks in Ju&aacute;rez Wakes Up with Ants in Her Mouth (Shadia Dahlal) Despu&eacute;s de un violento incidente al borde de la carretera en la Ruta 66, un grupo de viajeros se encuentra entre la esperanza y la p&eacute;rdida, confrontando la fr&aacute;gil frontera entre la escapatoria, la supervivencia y lo desconocido. Mother Roadside (Bonny Wicks) Una parada no planificada en la Ruta 66 empuja una amistad a un territorio desconocido, revelando c&oacute;mo la confianza y la resiliencia emergen cuando el control cede ante la necesidad. &Uacute;nete a nosotros por UNA NOCHE &Uacute;NICAMENTE en el Festival Fringe de Tulsa 2026. Presentado en el Centro de Igualdad Dennis R. Neill, 621 S 4th St., Tulsa, OK, en asociaci&oacute;n con Echo Theatre Company y Twisted Arts.
