Four PAD alumni were commissioned to write plays for our season. Each playwright was limited to writing one 15-25-minute piece with a cast of at least 2 but no more than 4 actors. Writers were free to write what they wanted, but each was deeply aware of the extraordinary social and pandemic moment we share. All have been provided a short list of scenic elements they could employ – things like a pillar, a road blockade, some stairs. Writers could use all, some, or none of the items. These limitations kept the production demands lean and agile. The playwrights are: Nastaran Amahdi ('00), Marisa Wegrzyn ('03), Chauncy Thomas ('06) and Liza Birkenmeier ('08); all have developed thriving careers in theatre and television, and we look forward to hearing their voices again on campus.

This year because of increased production costs for video equipment and streaming, we are giving our patrons the opportunity to give a donation through our “pay what you can” ticket system. If you would like to contribute to help support this event, click the “Pay What You Can” link below. WashU students and Patrons who do not wish to contribute at this time may obtain the link to access the production by clicking on the Registration link.
