WYO PLAY has announced that their residents of Young Theatre Makers Ensemble will present a night of one-act plays.
The Ensemble will perform Brian The Comet and The Inexplicable Chaos Factor of Mia Gregory, two one-act plays by Emily Hageman. Both plays are being produced by special arrangement with Stage Partners.
Brian The Comet follows a young girl named Jude. Jude’s mother is an astronaut, 254 miles away on the International Space Station. So when her father is diagnosed with lung cancer, Jude is the only one who can take care of him. In the hospital, she meets a boy named Brian who suffers from aneurysms and together, they learn about what they fear, what they know, what they believe, and what they hope for in their future.
The Inexplicable Chaos Factor of Mia Gregory, is about Liv and Mia. Liv is one of the most brilliant teenage mathematicians in the country, but she does not understand her best (and only) friend Mia. And now, she’s doing this play to try to figure it out. An incredibly moving and empowering story about the chaos we create, and the order we can find in it.
The two plays are presented by the ten members of the Young Theatre Makers Ensemble. The Ensemble members carry the plays across with light and humor, but ultimately the performances pack an emotional punch. These plays are recommended for audiences aged 12 years and older.
Young Theatre Makers Ensemble will perform these two one-act plays beginning at 7 p.m. Aug. 11 & 12, and 4 p.m. Aug. 13th.
There will be a talk back available with the cast and representatives from local resource centers following the Aug. 12, performance. Tickets can be purchased online by clicking here, or in-person at the WYO Theater box office.
Questions can also be directed to WYO PLAY Lead Teaching Artist Grace Cannon at the WYO Performing Arts and Education Center at gcannon@wyotheater.com.
