ABOUT THE PLAYS AND THE PRODUCTION

Dr. Superman, by Kayshav Prakash '22

Lost Angeles, by Kavya Menon '20 
One of two 2019 Eleanor Frost Playwriting Competition winners.
When Aria moves to Los Angeles to pursue an internship in film production, she finds herself in the midst of a very interesting mix of personalities. Between the 11 girls she shares an apartment with, her quirky boss, and the random people she meets, there is never a dull moment.

The Recording, by Monik Walters '19 
One of two 2019 Eleanor Frost Playwriting Competition winners.
An examination of the narration of death in black communities and the storytelling capabilities of black women in these contexts. The Recording is a nonlinear exploration of the concept of mothers outliving their children in a modern era of violence, and the responsibility black women have to tell those stories.

All three pieces are one-act plays. Dr. Superman will be presented as a fully-produced production, directed by Jamie Horton; rehearsals will begin June 25. Lost Angeles and The Recording will be performed as staged readings, directed by Deby Xiadani '15; rehearsals for both will begin on Sunday July 21. Participation in the staged readings will require no memorization and an overall commitment of approximately 1.5 weeks.

All three plays will be performed in the Bentley Theater during the weekend of July 26-28; Dr Superman will perform Friday July 26 and Sunday July 28 at 8 pm, while The Recording and Lost Angeles will perform Saturday July 27 at 8 pm and Sunday July 28 at 4 pm.
