Confetti Stage is proud to continue our tradition of supporting original works by local playwrights with our first Writers Showcase.Hearing a script read and getting feedback from a cast and audience are invaluable parts of the workshop process. As such, we are excited to present a staged reading of three scripts in progress:"The Familiars" by Adele CostaAn Irish village in the year 1183. When a mysterious stranger murders her beloved cat, tavern keeper Taryn doesn’t take it lying down. In confronting the culprit however, Taryn realizes things are not always as they appear. Sometimes the predator is prey, prey is the predator, and bloody deeds are one of God’s most effective instruments. "The Last Women's Health Clinic in North Dakota" by Beverly SkollIt’s 2022. SCOTUS has overturned Roe v Wade. The Clinic, in Fargo, is presently operating per usual but will be forced to close in about 5 weeks. Tammi, who has devoted her life to running the clinic, is in search of a building over the state border into Minnesota, where abortion will remain legal. As Tammi tries to maintain some sense of sanity in the daily operation of the clinic, she is faced with a very unexpected client. Their encounter is eye opening. "Period Three" by Joe BrutonA typical teacher with some humor hears a noise and investigates during period three. It was two shots from a shotgun in the hallway. The principal tackles the student as the teacher returns to the classroom and evacuates his kids. He stops at several other classrooms as well, the main office and finally a last classroom, where they pile desks in front of the door. The teacher borrows a cell phone and calls his wife. The next day he listens to the principal’s account of the shooting and asks a counselor to help in period three.Performances will be January 24-26 at the Albany Masonic Temple, with shows at 7:30 on Friday and Saturday and a 2:00 Sunday matinee.Audiences will be invited to attend a talkback session with the playwrights following the performance on Friday, January 24.Tickets are available by donation, with a suggested donation of $15. Donations may be made at the door, or online.
