JOIN US FOR THE 2023 MODERN WORKS FESTIVAL NEXT WEEK

Back for the fourth time and returning to an in-person experience, the Modern Works Festival is a playwriting contest, reading festival, and celebration of women in theatre.  

WESTMINSTER

By Brenda Withers

Readings at:

2:00 PM | Thursday May 4, 2023

8:00 PM | Saturday May 6, 2023

About the play:

When Pia's old friend Krys gifts her with a surprise rescue dog, the women and their partners face off over issues of class, accountability, and good breeding. Part morality play, part screwball romp, Westminster digs into "acceptable" social prejudices and the consequences of leaving those biases unchecked.

About the play:

It’s 2044. Bees are extinct in the wild, kept alive inside synthetic apiaries where they live year-round in perpetual spring. Through a freak accident, lab assistants Zora and Pilar discover the bees have an unusually positive response to dead human flesh. As the bees begin to thrive, Zora and Pilar must find a way to satiate their new appetites.

About the play:

Dr. Cleo Magnus takes great pride in his work and the people it brings into his life as a therapist. He lives for the excitement and thrill of meeting new clients and working with them. His newest client, Jane, is no exception to this. However, things take a turn when feelings start to develop into impulses that neither party are sure that they can resist acting on.
