Burdick Reading Series
Every year at least five hundred plays are read at FST: plays from emerging playwrights, Pulitzer Prize winners; plays from England, New Zealand, and everything in-between. We read these in the hopes of compiling the most powerful, entertaining, and thought-provoking season in contemporary American theatre.
The Richard and Betty Burdick New Play Reading Series

When she is visited by the conservative mother of the other attack victim, the two dance slowly through their grief. Truths are uncovered about what brought these two attached victims together, and why they undertook their humanitarian missions that led to that fateful day.
May 2 @ 2:00pm – Uncanny Valley by Thomas Gibbons Claire, a neuroscientist, has spent her life building artificial humans and attempting to balance her unstable relationship with her husband. Gibbons creates a touching story about friendship, personal interaction, and what it really means to be “human”.
