Out of Ink
by ScriptWorks
Apr. 28 - May. 07, 2016
A grieving widow, a pilot under siege, a captive woman, and a man who has given up on love are just a few of the people who figure out how to carry on in ScriptWorks’ 18th annual Out of Ink ten-minute play showcase. The only objects available to the characters are what will fit in a carry-on suitcase, one of three contributed rules or ingredients used to write the plays. ScriptWorks members mold these elements into their ten-minute masterpieces over 48 hours during the Weekend Fling.
3) The sound of the land
At the end of the Weekend Fling, the plays were read in a ScriptWorks Salon at the Austin Playwrights Studio. A selection committee picked eight plays for production in Out of Ink, from the three-dozen that were submitted. The committee included free-lance director and ScriptWorks board chair, Debbie Lynn Carriger; and non-applying members Larry Herold and Rhonda Kulhanek.
