Small Projects in Flat Earth's 2016-17 Season
Join us for these free staged readings over the course of our 11th season!
The Sound of Cracking Bones
Much like countless children across the globe, Elikia and Joseph have been torn from their homes and families, pressed into service in a brutal civil war. This is the child soldiers’ testimonial: the story of an unlikely flight towards freedom where welcome remains uncertain.
Hauntingly evocative and devastatingly beautiful, The Sound of Cracking Bones presents a lyrical recollection of two children's capture, escape, and rescue, in the words of the girl who has learned to see the gun as an extension of her arm.
The Taming
Join us for a fresh and feminist take on American Constitutional Government – complete with tiaras, pantsless hostages, and George Washington himself – in Silent Sky playwright Lauren Gunderson's political farce The Taming. Flat Earth Theatre will be hosting a staged reading as part of Gunderson's Inauguration Day Project, a nationwide series of events that bluntly addresses today's divisive political landscape through humor and inclusion.
