Our final In-Progress New Play Reading of the fall, Holy Palmer’s Kiss by Kaela Mei-Shing Garvin is less than a week away. Join us 11/2 at 6:30 pm. Directed by Markus Potter, Dramaturg: Jane Barnette.
Commissioned by the University of Kansas, with developmental support from Unicorn Theatre, Holy Palmer’s Kiss is a contemporary comedy that turns Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet inside out. As a company of theatre artists attempts to bring Shakespeare’s famous tragedy to life, their own rivalries, clashing identities, and competing ideas about art threaten to tear the ensemble apart. At once a celebration and a playful interrogation of theatrical tradition, Kaela Mei-Shing Garvin’s new play explores the divisions we create, the stories we inherit, and what it takes to find common ground in an increasingly fractured world. This developmental reading brings together professional Kansas City artists, KU faculty, and students for a public presentation of the play in progress.
No reservations necessary. Suggested $5 donation at the door

From review by TeenTix KC Press Corps member Mia Carpenter:

"'Red Like Fruit' at Unicorn Theatre is an introspective play that directly questions the nature of memory and consent, especially in an era following the movement." Read more at https://kcstudio.org/whats-the-difference-red-like-fruit-at-the-unicorn/

The cast and creative team of SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE ADVENTURE OF THE ELUSIVE EAR is anything but elementary, dear Watson! Brilliant minds. Twisted plots. One colorful conspiracy. The game’s afoot November 11-29.

Come with your convictions. Leave questioning them. Don’t miss this “magnetically minimalist” production playing only until October 25.
