Spring Open fulfills Off Centers mission to promote and present new work by Vermont theater artists. Participants were selected by lottery from a wide selection of applicants and are given the space rent free, splitting the bill with another winner for one week to showcase their work. A total of four shows will be presented over the two week festival. Each of the four selections will run under one hour.
Spring Open Shows and Artists:
June 8, 9 & 10: The Second Week
1. The Allegory of Flowing Water, (30 Min) written and directed by Martin Gil. Two men and one woman are camping by a brook in the State Forest. The natural setting promotes a relaxing of usually necessary social restraints. The resulting alliances and interactions prove to be both intrinsically interesting and instructive. Thirty minutes, eleven scenes.
Martin Gil, born in Vermont, trained at UVM, works professionally in theater and performing arts as a union stage technician, and provides concept and design where he can,regionally, also performs music whenever possible, loves to cook, and to ski.
2. Outpost, a solo work, written, directed and performed by Meredith Gordon
Abigail Cutter and her husband David had a dream to raise a child in the wilderness, free from the chaos of the world. They buy a small cabin off the grid in the Northwest Territories, but shortly after their son is born, David falls ill and dies, leaving Abigail alone in woods. She is left with the decision to carry on her dream for the child or to find some way back to civilization. The decision proves a complicated one as forces of nature and her own mind begin to take their toll on her.
Meredith Gordon is hard at work on her brand new parenting blog, "I Make Your Parenting Look Good," which, much like her play "Outpost" for Off Center, highlights the honest struggles she feels as a parent. She is a member of the Potato Sack Pants Theater sketch comedy troupe. A group she hopes to work with again, once all these kids of ours can make their own dinners.
