a staged reading

Each year, the Kelly Writers’ House and Front Row Theatre Company come together to support an original one-act play written by a Penn student. Danny’s winning play, SOMEWHERE IN THE ETHER, takes place, as the title suggests, somewhere in the ether, in a netherworld wherein a young woman suddenly finds herself lost.

FTC Presents…God of Carnage

Written by YASMINA REZA
Directed by BECCA KAPLAN
Produced by CHRIS BURCHERI

God of Carnage is a comedy of manners without the manners! This internationally acclaimed comedy takes you into the most dangerous place on Earth: parenthood. The play is about two pairs of parents, one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park, who meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish, resulting in the evening devolving into unmannered chaos.

Thursday, Feb. 7th @ 8pm

FTC presents…PROOF

Written by DAVID AUBURN
Directed by DANA FLOBERG
Produced by BECCA KAPLAN and HANNAH BROWN

Proof focuses on Catherine, a young woman who has spent years caring for her father, Robert, a brilliant mathematician in his youth who was later unable to function without her help. His death has brought into her midst both her sister, Claire, who wants to take Catherine back to New York with her, and Hal, a former student of Catherine’s father who hopes to find some hint of Robert’s genius among his incoherent scribblings. Catherine has inherited at least a part of her father’s brilliance — and perhaps some of his instability as well. As she and Hal become attracted to each other, they push at the edges of each other’s knowledge, considering not only the unpredictability of genius but also the human instinct toward love and trust. Proof is the winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Thursday, Nov. 15th @ 9pm
