Saturday
Everyone has their own mythology of the park: this is my tree, this is my bench, this is my land. Ghosts of soldiers, bored kids climbing trees, overjoyed couples, mourning parents, even the trees themselves, all of these beings cross paths day after day at a place they believe belongs to them. When part of the park is closed down, what happens to all these mythologies... and the deep emotions attached to them?
A staged reading is a presentation of the play by actors who will be using scripts. Because this play is set in the park, the park itself is the backdrop. This is a brand new play-in-progress created with the support of the ScriptWorks Groundwork Grant and the City of Austin, as well as the support of the Pease Park Conservancy.
