can be either frightening or empowering. In this one-week playwriting and drama intensive we

Hunger Plays is an opportunity for middle school girls to come together to discuss and discover their hopes, dreams, and desires and the unknown that lies on the other side of the threshhold of being young women. In this three-week playwriting and drama intensive we will ask: what are you hungry for? In this all-female ensemble, we explore how girls deal with competition and friendships. We share our experiences of hunger and desire both literal and metaphorical, and why adolscence can leave you with a feeling like the pie of life is limited, and what to do when we feel we can only get a slice at another girl’s expense. How can we push ourselves as girls to succeed and triumph, while retaining the spirit of collaboration and play recently left behind on the playground? Is there a way to succeed without starving those around you? 

Responses from last summer’s Hunger Play class: “I loved this camp because we really got to put a piece of ourselves into the play. We got to create a piece of art. We got to bring a girl’s life experiences to reality as a play that we all wrote together.” –Bridget “I love acting and writing, so the concept is a dream come true. After that, I had an amazing time and I made so many new friends.” –Marin“This camp has helped me learn more about myself and others. I have to say, making your own play from your own words is kind of hard. But when it all comes together, it turns out to be awesome!” –Linda “This experience has made me realize I’m not alone, and has made me feel more comfortable in my own skin. Our director, Kaya, taught me the importance of simply being a girl.” -Claire “This camp was a great experience. We did so much, from writing to games to acting, and all of it was about girls. I learned so much, and at the same time has lots of fun. I will cherish the relationships, and experiences I had in these three weeks forever.” –VivianRehearsals: July 29-Aug 13, Mon-Thurs, 5-8pm

Kaufman and Hart’s Pulitzer-Prize winning, delightfully wacky comedy brings families of opposite lifestyles together - with literally explosive results. Set in the Great Depression, the Sycamore family enjoys its eccentricities (including dancing, homemade fireworks, and discus-throwing) and doesn’t understand why their daughter, Alice, worries they might scare off her “normal” boyfriend, Tony. When the couple’s families meet over dinner, delightful answers emerge to the question “what is money - and life - for?”

Excuse me, are we discussing bribes? Because if we’re discussing bribes, I freely admit I rule in favor of whatever side offers me the biggest one, but I never take money, I always take it in farm animals and game.— Judge
A bribe is a bribe. — Mayor
Not if you eat it. — Judge
