THE FIX-IT-IF-YOU-CAN MAN is part of the Me & My Masks Festival (monologues based on a pandemic theme). The online festival is produced by Roland Tec, formerly of the Dramatists Guild.

Story: A brilliant but homeless tech guy decides to live at his workplace, a Goodway donation center, during the pandemic, while he battles panic attacks and finds spiritual solace in a donated Gideon Bible.

The video is 15″ in length.

An early version of the monologue was performed at an LAFPI micro read at Samuel French.

The Word @ The Road presents a virtual reading of Jennie Webb’s Space Available, directed by Mia Y. Anderson.

This is the story of Jane, who’s managed to survive an absurd litany of profound misfortunes in a world where the words “womanhood” and “motherhood” are used interchangeably. But when she comes face to face with a surreal future that no one should have to live with, she takes a closer look at what it means to have options. Space Available is a play about a woman’s place and what (& who) we let define us.

Featuring: Cherish Monique Duke, Audrey Cain, Janet Chamberlain, Ruman Kazi, and Krishna Smitha.

THE WORD AT THE ROAD
As part of the Company’s mission to foster the development of new plays, The Road hosts readings on Monday evenings (now online) that are open to the public with a suggested donation of $15. Readings are followed by a talkback with the playwright (if available).

Alexis Roblan and The Tank Present
SAMUEL
AN AUDIO / VISUAL EXPERIENCE
July 22 – August 14, 2021

Four adult sisters can’t agree on anything.

Did mom make sweet potatoes with marshmallows or thyme?

What did Grandma’s face look like?

Didn’t we have a brother once?

Wasn’t his name Samuel?

SAMUEL – a new audio-visual experience for the theatre – invites audience members to listen to audio scenes on their own devices as they explore an unnerving visual world of collective loss, existential fear, and the everyday trauma of family relationships. Fashioned after a self-guided audio museum tour, each observer will allow the immersive soundscape in their ears to guide their journey as the sisters struggle to maintain their connections to themselves, each other, and an ever-shifting sense of reality.
