ANNOUNCING AUDITIONS FOR GENERAL KNOWEDGE by Calvin Adkins, our Third Verum Project of the year!

Auditions will take place from 2-5 PM at Convergence-continuum on Saturday, June 13th. Auditioners perform cold reads from the script- no monologue necessary. Reach out to Calvin Adkins directly if you have any questions or want a copy of the script to peruse before your audition!

SUMMARY:
Trivia captain Lorelei, her girlfriend Delia Dahlia, her sister Tuesday, and their friend Aster are living four to an apartment, anxiously anticipating the regional finals their team has been invited to compete in. With five thousand dollars on the line, plus ten thousand more if they advance and win the national competition, the team is practicing hard. But when Tuesday unexpectedly invites her boyfriend to move in- the night before the competition, no less- the disruption brings old tension and big secrets to a boiling point. General Knowledge is q***r, messy, dark, and full of both laughter and drama.

ROLES:

Director’s Notes-

It’s now. It’s later. It’s everything happening all at once in the center of a random hell. That’s when Plano takes place. That’s how this world can feel right now. I’ve had the play on my mind for a while, but this year of political turmoil felt like the correct time to do it. Plano follows three sisters in a Dallas neighborhood as they’re navigating … a lot—multiplying husbands, a slug infestation, a ghost without a face. The way the playwright, Will Arbery, presents their overwhelm is hilarious, devastating, and strangely comforting. The characters are overwhelmed by the world’s unfairness and all the changes they want to make at a personal and political level. I’m overwhelmed. I suspect you might be, too. This play invites us to confront it, talk about it, and maybe emerge a little more connected.
Arbery wrote this play for his family. As the only son in a family of seven daughters, he had a lot to dig into about how patriarchy affected them, how their parents (two professors at a Christian college) shaped their worldviews, and how they imperfectly tried to support each other through it all. A theme I keep coming back to is the way characters avoid their emotions, which ends up making them avoid each other. I’ve felt guilty for avoiding my feelings, too. And when that happens, life can speed on without you at a dizzying pace. It’s now. It’s later. It’s that time everyone needed your help and you weren’t there.
Have fun and laugh a bit. We’re in Plano together.

​​​​​​​With joy despite it all,
​​​​​​​Kari Barclay
