MAST
by Paper Chairs

Jul. 23 - Aug. 08, 2015
Thursdays-Sundays

a new play by paper chairs co-founder and local playwright Elizabeth Doss that explores a nuclear family born of World War II as it blows apart over the globe.
 
 
(paper chairs)

 
On an Air Force base outside Abilene, TX, Anne, a rancher's daugher, and Walter, a globe-trotting journalist, conceive a child in the heat of wartime frenzy. The two recklessly elope to the Trujillo-oppressed Dominican Republic and face the edges and ends of themselves. Based on the legacy of Doss's own mid-century Texan relatives, MAST is a photograph that spans the decades of Anne and Walter's estranged lives, un-posed, only half-exposed and lost at sea.
