"Sing to me, O muse, of the clever man..." So begins the most enduring epic of Western literature. But why has this particular story remained on the tongues of storytellers for 3500 years? What has drawn generations to tell the trials of Odysseus, or retell them as Sinbad the Sailor or O, Brother Where Art Thou? Playwrights Tobin Atkinson and Marynell Hinto find out in this original adaptation commissioned and premiered by Meat & Potato Theatre. Five actors bring all twenty-five characters to life in this critically-acclaimed play about a soldiers trying to return home after ten long years of war. "Tobin Atkinson and Marynell Hinton turn this new version of The Odyssey into a combination of epic adventure and a simple, human tale of self-knowledge." City Weekly
A mercenary. A medic. And a man of faith. When three ordinary Americans witness the abuse of power first-hand: how far will they go to achieve justice?
An adaptation of Charles Dickens' HARD TIMES in two acts for one actress.
At the height of World War II, the US Army is frantic to find trained pilots to test refurbished planes, tow anti-aircraft targets, ferry planes from factories, and train other pilots. Congress begrudgingly allows the creation of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) where 1,074 women are trained at Avenger Field, Texas and go on to fill roles normally reserved for male pilots. "Now, you, Laura, you're like a firework. You climb in those planes, rocket right up there, and BOOM Brilliance. Hell, you're even happy when you get your butt shot off." A PLACE IN THE SKY tells the story of the little-known WASP program. During its short-lived existence, WASP flew 60 million miles in every known U.S. military aircraft. Thirty-eight pilots died while serving as WASP. And even though WASP weren't granted full military status for their service until 1977 (thirty-four years after the last WASP class graduated), their courage and contribution to America's greatness remain an inspiration.
