SUMMARY:Theatre 33 presents Lights in the Sky
DESCRIPTION:Theatre 33\, in residence at Willamette University\, is a new play development company that helps Oregon/NW playwrights develop their new scripts from our 60-hour rehearsed workshop production (fully designed lights\, sound\, props\, set\, costumes\, and entirely blocked with scripts in hand) to a world-premiere full production. \nLights in the Sky\nby Ricky Zipp\nIs a political satire about the blindness of power and the violent choice that human beings decide to make. It shows how a group of people can get to the brink of world destruction — literally — and still not learn the lessons of the past. Jimmy King begins his first day of work for a government office in Washington\, D.C.\, that investigates reports of UFO sightings. As he adjusts to his new job\, he learns that his boss\, Lillian\, and his co-workers\, Whit and Maye\, are covering up a secret alien encounter that could lead to the destruction of the planet. \n\nAugust 4 @ 7 p.m.\nAugust 7 @ 7 p.m.\nAugust 13 @ 7 p.m.\nAugust 16 @ 2 p.m.

SUMMARY:Theatre 33 presents Prodigies
DESCRIPTION:Theatre 33\, in residence at Willamette University\, is a new play development company that helps Oregon/NW playwrights develop their new scripts from our 60-hour rehearsed workshop production (fully designed lights\, sound\, props\, set\, costumes\, and entirely blocked with scripts in hand) to a world-premiere full production. \nProdigies by Brook Bethel\nWhen a new talented competitor appears at an annual youth piano competition\, Isla\, Benji\, Kinsleigh\, and Eden question their own competency and ability to keep up with the growing demands of being a prodigy. After Isla gets her period while practicing\, she takes it as a sign that she should quit playing piano forever\, and attempts to rally the other prodigies to question their own devotion to Bach. “Prodigies” is a play about labor\, duty\, and living on the excruciating precipice of being a teenager. \n\nAugust 9\, 7 p.m. (Pelton Playhouse\, Salem)\nAugust 16\, 7 p.m. (Pelton Playhouse\, Salem)
