In partnership with The Jewish Federation, join us for a panel discussion on Thursday April 2 from 5:00 pm – 6:15 pm for Dangerous Worlds: Reflections on pre-WWII Germany and the roots of hatred and anti-Semitism today.

Tying in with these goals, this panel discussion on pre-WWII Germany will highlight the Jewish culture represented and revitalized in Mark Nadler’s I’m a Stranger Here Myself.

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
April 25 @ 2:00pm – Sans Merci by Johnna Adams The story of an idealistic young woman who is a crippled survivor of attempted murder by South American revolutionaries. 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”.
May 9 @ 2:00pm – The Sparkley Clean Funeral Singers by Lori Fischer & Don Chaffer Cut to small town America with a quirky country singing duo of sisters. After losing their recording contracts and having nothing left to work toward, they move home to help their father run his dry cleaning business. With a recent rise of deaths in the community, in comes Pastor Phil to request their services as funeral singers. Lori Fischer creates sentimental and comical characters full of perseverance held together by a single thread – life or death.
