SUMMARY:ON THE BRINK Reading Series / FREE
DESCRIPTION:*Note: This is a change in location from the original listing. 
 Extreme Home Makeover has been replaced by Carlota.\nThe ON THE BRINK Read
 ing Series is aimed at amplifying marginalized voices and exposing student
 s to a diverse array of BIPOC\, queer\, and women artists from around the 
 nation and the world. A collaboration of professional theatre artists\, fa
 culty members\, current students and CSU alumni\, On the Brink explores wo
 rks representing a variety of underrepresented voices and perspectives.\nL
 ed by Professors Saffron Henke and Javier Hurtado\, the goals for the seri
 es are to expose students at CSU to work from artists they may not otherwi
 se know\, to share with students the work their professors do\, to encoura
 ge a curiosity for and practice of reading new plays\, and to bring togeth
 er faculty\, professional artists and students in creative collaboration.\
 n\nEach reading is followed by a post-show facilitated reflective discussi
 on to process the work and the issues each play raises.\n\nThe 2023-24 Sea
 son:\nSagittarius Ponderosa by MJ Kaufman.\nDirected by Javier Hurtado\nTu
 esday\, February 13\, 7:30 p.m.\nThe Magic Rat\; The Elizabeth Hotel\n\nAr
 cher (still Angela to his family) doesn’t want to move back to his child
 hood home in eastern Oregon when his father falls ill. But at night under 
 the oldest Ponderosa Pine\, he meets a stranger who knows the history of t
 he forests and the sadness of losing endangered things. As Archer accepts 
 big changes in his family\, he discovers the power of names and the histor
 ies they make and mask.\n\nCarlota: Jewelry Box of Secrets by Rodrigo Garc
 ia and Ugho Badu- Translated by Victor Spielberg Verdejo{\nDirected by Jav
 ier Hurtado\nWednesday\, March 6\, 7:30 p.m.\nBas Bleu Theatre\, 401 Pine 
 St.\n\nInspired by The House of Bernarda Alba by Federico García Lorca\, 
 Carlota: Jewelry Box of Secrets is set in the house that the protagonist\,
  Carlota inherited from her father. It is a house where time has stopped. 
 Carlota and her three daughters live there: Mari Fer\, the eldest who does
  not stop sweating\; Mari Pepa\, the second who suffers from a terrible il
 lness\, and Mari Tere\, the youngest who suffers from a condition that is 
 greater than her strength. One summer\, Carlota\, Soledad\, her lifelong c
 ompanion\, and Carlota’s daughters\, attend the funeral of Heladio del M
 onte\, a poor man who has come to the worse. Going to the wake of the dece
 ased\, Heladio unleashes a series of events that trigger the revelation of
  a secret that will change everyone's lives.\n\nCarlota has been produced 
 multiple times since it premiered in 2016. The play is originally written 
 and performed in Spanish. This is the first time that this play will be pe
 rformed in English. Following the performance\, the writers of the origina
 l Spanish text\, Rodrigo Garcia and Ugho Badu will join us via zoom for a 
 talkback with the audience facilitated by Dr. Javier Hurtado.\n\nThis Carl
 ota is being produced in collaboration with Bas Bleu in Fort Collins and T
 eatro Alebrijes in San Jose\, CA.
