Botanicum Seedlings adds an exciting layer to Theatricum’s “Rise Up” repertory season with free readings of two new plays that explore how choices compelled by extraordinary circumstances can lead us into unknown territory.

• Sunday, August 20 at 11 a.m.
  Stop-Motion by Liz Kerin, directed by Gloria Iseli. After a decade of living in her childhood home caring for her disabled mother, a reclusive animator is forced to look at the fractured pieces of her youth – and the risks of moving forward in life – in the aftermath of a tragic accident. Terra Dray, Dramaturg.

• Sunday, August 27 at 11 a.m.
  The Orange Garden by Joanna Garner, Directed by Rachel Berney Needleman.  It’s 1972 and a young Peace Corps volunteer in Iran finds himself caught up in a cultural whirlwind of danger and forbidden passion. But upon returning to America, he becomes lost between two very different worlds.   Jennie Webb, Dramaturg.

Will Geer’s Theatricum Botanicum is outdoors. In case of inclement weather, please call for alternate performance times.
