The LoneTree Live Seed to Script Playwright Development Program has wrapped and now it's time to celebrate the cohort of ten writers: Justin Burgess, Jules Caldwell, Tracee Roderick Comfort, Melissa McKnight, Savannah S. Miller, Brandi Nicole, Elle Perry, Christopher Tracy, Lena Wallace Black, Micah Winter. Join us Wednesday, April 8, 7:30pm at TheatreWorks at The Square as this year’s program will culminate in a recognition of all members of the cohort and a staged reading showcasing one of the new works developed in the program, "The Veil," written by Savannah S. Miller. The staged reading will be directed by Jamie Boller.
About "The Veil"
Don’t tell your dreams before breakfast. Don’t stare at the trees. And absolutely, never ever, whistle at night. Mia, Shayne, Paloma, and Caitlin are four private school friends who decide to spend New Year’s Eve 2017 in a cabin in Jefferson, North Carolina, a mountain town with a history of the supernatural and an ominous “Devil’s Staircase." Five years later, three of them are dealing from the fallout of that night and the different decisions they made that have shaped their early twenties. "The Veil" uses the mysteriousness of Appalachian folklore to explore female friendship under pressure. It is cabin horror meets class divides, betrayal, and living with the repercussions of your actions when you cannot take them back.
We offer much appreciation to Evan Linder, nationally recognized playwright whose work includes "5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche" and "Byhalia, Mississippi." Evan brought a wealth of experience in developing fresh voices and guiding the writers through the full process of play creation.
Seed to Script is made possible with additional support from the Tennessee Arts Commission and the ARTSmemphis Arts Build Communities grant, signaling a local and statewide belief in LoneTree Live’s mission to cultivate emerging artists and audience development.
