ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY'S CAFÉ BOHEMIA PRESENTS THE NEW PLAY HUNKA BY LARISSA FASTHORSE
Larissa FastHorse's new play Hunka, directed by Associate Artistic Director Stephen Wrentmore, will be read at The Temple Lounge as the next installment of Arizona Theatre Company's Café Bohemia on Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 10:00 PM immediately following the main-stage performance of The Great Gatsby. Café Bohemia is a season of play readings, jams and ideas featuring new works from bold and inventive playwrights which invites audiences to The Temple Lounge to participate in the new play process to hear works read aloud by the best local and national actors. Café Bohemia is sponsored by Providence Service Corporation.
Hunka by Larissa FastHorse is a new play that tells the story of family. After a lifetime of struggling with drugs and alcohol, Laura suddenly reconnects with Nicole, the baby she gave up for adoption over twenty years ago. However, the reunion is not as innocent as it seems and opens up more questions than answers between Laura, Nicole and Rex, the child Laura kept. As the night wears on, secrets are revealed as Nicole and Kit realize that family is a choice. Sometimes a crazy choice, but one they are ready to make.
The cast is made up of Robert Encila, Maxton Scott, Erika Stone, Gabriela Urias and Leanne Whitewolf-Charlton.
The playwrights of these exciting new works will be present at the readings as they continue to develop their scripts. Tucson audiences are invited to enter the dramatic process at its inception, being among the first people in the world to hear these stories come to life, investing in the future of the American theatre by starting relationships with new playwrights and new audiences. Admission is only $5 at the door.
