Parents, are you concerned that your children may be a closet thespians? If so, you may want to send them over to the Public Theater at the Bathhouse on Green Lake for Future Files:
This spring, we travel forward in time with two exciting, one-act plays that challenge us to think about the world we are creating…. “The Days of Perky Pat,” by the award-winning philosopher-author Philip K. Dick, dreams a world where survivors of a global thermonuclear war live off what they can scrounge from the wastes and supplies delivered from Mars. “The Sequence,” by Vince Delaney (Writer 1272), is about a young girl facing a fateful day: the reading of her genome. The results will decide her career, friendship, and even who she will marry. Those who show flaws are kicked out of the system, and on Kim’s big day, the unthinkable happens. Are her “flaws” a curse, or a blessing? What will the real future have in store for us?
No audition necessary, rehearsals start April 6th, costs a whopping $250, but think of all the money they’ll earn you when they become stars.
If the $250 is too whopping (though we like to think it’s a great deal for the experiential value) we do have financial aid available – Seattle Public is proud to not turn anyone away for lack of funds!
