More Fun than Bowling

"You" is ushered into the theatre and given a program and a microphone. "You" is a character who comments on the action in this off beat comic drama about angst in the Nuclear Age which takes place in and around a nuclear missile silo a mile beneath Utah. Characters include Jesse and Mac, military keepers of the nuclear keys and codes, Mac's estranged daughter Luke, who lives in a fallout shelter, and the mysterious Mr. Anderson."Pours out ... spell binding stories that accumulate into a bold picture of how we come to terms with, or ignore, impending Armageddon. There are so many ripe images in this rich play. It's an extravagant collision of funny, unthinkable things adding up to one of the most absorbing plays yet written about the subject." -Minneapolis Star Tribune

THE MANIFESTO SERIES To create a Manifesto Series volume, Rain City Projects commissions a nationally recognized playwright to write a mission for or vision of what theater could be. They then edit a compilation of 5 to 8 plays, culled from the ranks of works with a link to the Pacific Northwest that best illustrate their personal manifesto for the theatre. 
 VIVID IMPACT As a young playwright I was given two small lapel pins. The first of these pins read: Art is anything you can get away with. The second read: Just because no one understands you doesn't make you an artist. In the wide gulf between these two sentiments rests the defining principle of this anthology." Steven Dietz from the Manifesto Series Volume 2 VIVID IMPACT (OR: HOW SIX DEEPLY ENGAGED PLAYWRIGHTS STUCK AN ARROW IN THE COLD HEART OF IRONIC DETACHMENT) edited by Steven Dietz represents Rain City Projects second foray into the Manifesto Series project. According to Steven the second Manifesto Series anthology glows with a boldness of theatrical vision thanks to the six theatrical treasures waiting in its pages including: 24 Pictures of a Pilot by Holly Arsenault Texarkana Waltz by Louis Broome Burning Bridget Cleary by Allison Gregory The Secret Recordings of Lenin to his Lost Love Mary Ann of Topeka, Kansas by Brendan Healy The K of D by Laura Schellhardt Crumbs Are Also Bread by Stephanie Timm
