Tonight’s shows:
Seize Me, by Liz Ross (ScriptWorks Commission). Henly takes us on their journey with epilepsy from childhood to adulthood. She shines a light on the ripple effect her seizures have on those around her and how it impacts her relationships.

More Than Dirt, by Claire K. Redfield and Elizabeth Crecente. It’s been 20 years, Jen is back and ready to tell it all with her Harry Potter glow in the dark pen! Told in collage, journal entries, and comedic vignettes, More than Dirt is based on the true life and murder of high schooler Jennifer Crecente. This spring, catch the first glimpse of this original show devised in collaboration with Jen’s mother, Elizabeth Crecente, and an ensemble of Austin artists.

WAY, by Patrick Aziz. Is there a good space in this world to move about as we may?  Your way of life and mine come together for tonight, and always.

Birthday Gifts: A Peri Tale, by Angela Marie Tolle. A tale of the reawakening of one woman’s sexuality and increased libido affected by the onset of perimenopause symptoms. The playwright’s dream is to create a showcase where various women can share about the various stages of menopause.

United Colors of Booty, by Ellen Stader. (The Story of the Sugarfoot Hustlers) is a reading/ storytelling experience written and performed by Ellen Stader, telling a tale alternately heartfelt and hilarious about the 12-woman dance troupe she assembled, trained, choreographed, costumed, performed, and built a sisterhood with (and only paid once!) during the 2000-2010s.

Pleaase note: we will not know whether all these shows are appropriate for those under 18 until noon on Tuesday, January 27. Call 512-479-7529 with questions, or email hydeparktheatre@gmail.com.
