Four Utah playwrights began writing 10-minute radio plays for ages 12+ on April 16. Then, on April 24, four creative teams were randomly created. Each team had access to the expertise of the creative team that’s been creating radio drama together for over a decade (Matthew Ivan Bennett, Cheryl Ann Cluff, David Evanoff, Jay Perry) and rehearsed virtually, recorded all of the components in isolation by April 29, and then edited and finalized their piece with sound engineer to start airing  April 30 and May 1. You can stream them now with the Plan-B Theatre Company FREE App from Wednesday, June 3, 2020 - Monday, August 31, 2020. *** Elaine Jarvik’s MY EYES ARE CLOSED SO PLEASE DON’T TEXT ME Syd is stranded 100 (or possibly 500!) feet in the air.

Babcock Performing Readers Presents “An Evening With A.A. Milne,” with selections adapted by Gordon S. Jones, Thursday 3 November at 7:30 in the Little Theater in the University of Utah Student Union. Admission is free,

 

Everyone knows A.A. Milne as the creator of Winnie the Pooh, but few know of Milne’s more serious writing – which was considerable, though generally with a light touch. With excerpts from his contributions to Punch magazine, and other occasional essays, director Gordon Jones shows a different side of this insightful, creative, and thoughtful man. Always whimsical, Milne used humor to call attention to many of the niggling problems that plague and puzzle us yet today.

Myra Bradwell's license to practice law was rejected by the Illinois State Supreme Court because, as a married woman, she could not enter into any legal contracts. "[t]he natural and proper timidity and delicacy which belongs to the female sex evidently unfits it for many of the occupations of civil life... The paramount destiny and mission of women are to fulfill the noble and benign offices of wife and mother. This is the law of the Creator."  Justice Bradley - 83 U. S. 130, 142.   Bradwell v. Illinois   Fortunately for Mary Todd Lincoln, Myra Bradwell didn't have to go to court to get her out of the asylum.      Mary and Myra by Catherine Filloux October 28 - November 12 In the summer of 1875, Mary Todd Lincoln (the President's widow)  resides in an insane asylum, sent there by her only living son.   Her progressive friend Myra Bradwell (America's first woman lawyer)  arrives to help Mary gain her release by exposing the injustices of her trial.   But Myra's motives and Mary's sanity are both up for debate,  as they grapple with their pasts and their perceptions of  freedom and womanhood.   Featuring Tamara Howell and Teresa Sanderson.
