Becoming Awesome by Y York (In Workshop)

Award-winning playwright Y York visits ASU West Valley’s campus for a one-week workshop of a new play titled “Becoming Awesome.” Local actors and ASU students will participate in a four-night rehearsal process directed by visiting guest director Mark Lutwak. Then, they will “perform” a reading of the play (i.e., without costumes, sets, and staging) on Friday and Saturday evenings March 28 & 29 @ 7:00 pm in Second Stage West. This week-long process will involve York making edits and adjustments to develop the play toward a final version, to which participants will contribute. This is the third play that York has developed in workshops at ASU West Valley, and both of the previous plays, “Getting Near to Baby” and “The Forgiving Harvest,” have gone on to have numerous professional productions, including from Arizona’s premiere theatre for young audiences Childsplay. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask and answer questions about their experience of the play. Admission Free
