SUMMARY:ON THE BRINK Reading Series: Shadow of the Son by Kate Leslie
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Saffron Henke\n\nColorado State University Theatre c
 ontinues our series of readings of new works addressing the hot topic them
 es of our times – issues that have pushed our culture to the brink\, and
  that reveal whole new worlds of possibilities. A collaboration with profe
 ssional theatre artists\, faculty members\, current students\, and CSU alu
 mni\, On the Brink explores works representing a variety of underrepresen
 ted voices and perspectives.\n\nCSU Theatre professor Saffron Henke’s go
 als for the series are to expose CSU students to work from artists they ma
 y not otherwise know\, and to amplify marginalized\, queer\, and BIPOC voi
 ces in the theatre. On the Brink also encourages a curiosity for\, and pra
 ctice of\, reading new plays\, and brings together faculty\, professional 
 artists\, and students in creative collaboration.\n\nPlays are rehearsed t
 he week prior to each reading. Free\, public readings are at 7:30 p.m. via
  Zoom. Readings are followed by a facilitated post-show discussion at 9:30
  p.m. that reflects on and processes the work and the issues raised by eac
 h play. Secure your free Zoom link on our ticket site.\n\nFebruary 10\, 20
 22 – THE THANKSGIVING PLAY by Larissa Fasthorse\nDirected by Saffron Hen
 ke\nStarring Taylor Baptiste\, James Fagan\, Kaleb Hacker\, and Alaina N
 oble\n\nGood intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHor
 se’s wickedly funny satire\, as a troupe of terminally “woke” white 
 teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to cel
 ebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. \n\nMarch 10\, 
 2022 – SHADOW OF THE SON by Kate Leslie\nDirector TBA\n\nEternity is a l
 ong time to live by someone elses rules.\nArtemis is the goddess of the mo
 on\, and her brother\, Apollo\, is the god of the sun. Expected to live up
  to the ideals of the immortals\, Artemis longs for freedom and the opport
 unity to chart her own path. But when she builds her own world away from t
 hat of her father\, has she simply traded one set of impossible expectatio
 ns for another?\n\nView Here: Shadow of the Son\n\nApril 12\, 2022 – HYP
 E MAN by Idris Goodwin\nDirector TBA\n\nA rapper\, beat-maker\, and hype m
 an start to find success making music together\, but harmony is harder to 
 find when the interracial hip-hop trio clashes over how to use their newfo
 und platform in the wake of a police shooting. Hype Man is a rhythmically 
 woven drama exploring race\, representation\, fame and friendship.
