Prodigies
November 7th and 8th at 7:00 PM
by Brooke Bethel
Directed by Scott Patrick Wilson
Performed by Carly Wheeler, Taylor Marie Scott, Andy Ingalls, Liz Leimkuhler, Casey Wishna, and Sarai Heria
When a new talented competitor appears at an annual youth piano competition, Isla, Benji, Kinsleigh, and Eden question their own competency and ability to keep up with the growing demands of being a prodigy. After Isla gets her period while practicing, she takes it as a sign that she should quit playing piano forever, and attempts to rally the other prodigies to question their own devotion to Bach. The Prodigies is a play about labor, duty, and living on the excruciating precipice of being a teenager
