Chains of Dew
presented by Sisyphus Theatre
In this rare 1920s feminist comedy by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Susan Glaspell (author of Trifles and "A Jury of Her Peers"), Seymore Standish lives a double life as a Bohemian poet in Greenwich Village and a respectable banker in the Midwest. Much to his horror, his big-city girlfriend, Nora, appears at his doorstep and joins forces with his small-town wife, Dotty, and his mother to establish a midwestern branch of the Birth Control League. With fast-paced wit and nuance, Chains of Dew explores themes of gender politics and reproductive freedom that are still relevant 100 years after it was written. This staged reading of Chains of Dew will benefit reproductive justice. ADMISSION: Receipt or proof donation of any amount to a charity that supports access to abortion and other reproductive healthcare. Our suggestions include: Planned Parenthood, Center for Reproductive Rights, and Texas Abortion Funds. The Box at the Gateway December 20-21, 2021 7:30 PM Limited Seating. Masks required. Run time: 75 minutes. No intermission. @sisyphustheatre (Instagram and Facebook)
The Open Syrup Episode 2
a production of The Box
In episode two of "The Open Syrup" (a serial farce by Elise C. Barnett-Curran), the folks at The Open Syrup are at it again! This time there's a swarm of ghost birds, a pushy psychic and an even pushier politician, a detective, and our favorite poor, beleaguered, put-upon hotel manager Rhonda. Life for Rhonda just keeps getting zanier and zanier! Watch Bradley Burgoyne, the hapless superintendent, attempt to rid the hotel of specters while fending off the advances of a person who maybe but certainly and most probably is a vampire. What will happen to the gang this time? Only one way to find out
