After a tremendous(ly gratifying) effort last summer -- before we lost Emily to the Actor's Theatre of Louisville for a spell -- we had the first public reading of our first full-length piece.
Set in a dead woman's apartment in Marble Hill Unlawful Gatherings unpacks the story of Katja, an immigrant, a mother, a revolutionary, a hoarder. The story is told by those she hardly knew, the young inhabitants of her building, as they dig through the detritus of a life unobserved.
The actors share the responsibility of playing all the characters that populate Katja's story, and most of the scenery too.
We're headed into a rehearsal period this early spring armed with a revised and re-arranged "script" and a modified cast list (simplify, simplify) and we're so f-ing excited!
