4 short readings from the Tank's cohort of autistic playwrights!
SHRIKE AND MAGPIE Hayley St. James Two renowned rival jewel thieves, Shrike and Magpie, find themselves face to face (and gunpoint to gunpoint) while going after the same bounty – the priceless Amberly Estate Amber – on the same day. Who will make off with the treasure?
MAN UP [excerpt] Kyle Smith St. Catherine's Water Polo team is ready to win a championship. They have all the pieces, the talent, everything they need. But when Titus, one of the players, discovers they have feelings for another player, and that they may be trans, Titus has to choose between what's most important to them, winning a championship as part of the team, or being true to themself. Man Up is about how sometimes when we become most ourselves, we lose people and things we thought we loved.
CRUNCH [excerpt] Jackson Tucker-Meyer It’s crunch time at a video game studio in Texas—Dash, Louis, and Kacey are all working nights and weekends. Their director, Rex, is visiting today to play through the demo they’re putting together for a big industry trade show. But outside the walls of the studio, something is really wrong.
