In June 2013 Theatre In the Raw will be producing and touring a series of original One-Act Plays. The Western Sky One-Act Tour will aim to present a variety of dramatic tones, performances, and styles and we have found that series of this nature have been a successful method of launching never before produced award winning works. This particular series will consist of three one-acts and a musical interlude. The plays selected are:
Talk Medicine by Sheryl Melnyk – The monologue centres on a man reminiscing after suffering a heart attack, and his need to talk to ease his stress. The play focuses on the development of his moral character and the various ethical ‘forks in the road’ that he has faced. This presentation is an adaptation of TITR’s twenty-third original radio play recently presented and broadcast on Vancouver Co-Op Radio’s Arts Rational program.
Maybe Miles by Joe Lauinger – The play focuses on an awkward encounter between a University professor and one of his former masters students at a strip club he is patronizing and where she happens to work.
The Suspect by Andrzej Jar - The Suspect is a piece focused on a man being harassed by a group of supposed government agents and radical anarchists. His lifestyle collapses around him as he becomes increasingly withdrawn and angry, realizing he has been made the mark for some political subterfuge and deception far beyond him.
Michelle Richard and accompanist Zi Paris have also agreed to come on board with the tour and perform their songs from Blues for the Road – opening each evening. They will also add live incidental music throughout each play.
