Boys and Girls: Three short plays by contemporary playwrights
Bare Theatre presents its first original one-act series. "Boys and Girls: Three short plays by contemporary playwrights" features three one-act plays by up and coming playwrights from North Carolina and New York, and will be performing at Common Ground Theatre in Durham, February 11-21.
"Burying Barbie," by New York-based playwright Christopher Dimond blends dark humor and touching sadness in the story of a morbid seven-year-old and her imaginary friend. Toys get killed.
"boygirlboygirl" comes from another NY-based writer Jason Williamson, who was raised in Rocky Mount, NC and got his undergrad degree from UNC-Greensboro. Williamson uses flowing, poetic language to spin a psychological tale of a young man and his obsession with a girl he does not know.
"Ask Him in the Morning" is written by Bare Theatre's Resident Director Carmen-maria Mandley. This first-person show-within-a-show details the life and sins of Gunnar Clarence Carpenter, a construct of Mandleys, who blurs the lines between criminal and victim.
Managing Director G. Todd Buker, who originally wrote and produced for Greensboro-based American Distractions, directs the first two plays. Carmen-maria Mandley directs her own work, with fight choreography by Heather J. Hackford assisted by Jason Bailey.
