Week #1: The End of Pantyhose

7:00pm, Storefront Studio

Springboard brings the excitement of new play development to audiences with fully staged-readings. Not just actors at music stands, these new works are up on their feet as actors negotiate with scripts-in-hand and only a few rehearsals. Audience members give feedback and engage in post-show discussions to help local playwrights develop their work.

Thursday and Saturday

The End of Pantyhose

Playwright: Arwen Mitchell
Director: Melissa Crum

Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Penny Bingo, our advice-giving host, considers this and many other questions as she takes us through a variety-hour of decades of female experience, including (but not limited to): time- and labor-saving appliances, mommy culture, cigarettes, girdles, the “Lift and Stretch for Lovers” exercise program, household disinfectant/ birth control methods, a visit from a door-to-door makeup maven and a dressing-room game show where the winner walks away with a new wardrobe and self-worth dubiously intact.

Cast: Rachel Kolis, Courtney Brown, Chennelle Harris, Carrie Williams, Mia Jones, Lisa Wiley

There is a special and private staged reading performance on Fri. Oct. 24th at 7:00pm. Call the CPT Box Office for more information.
