Avalanche! by Leslie Dillen is about a former ski champion trapped during an avalanche in an air pocket of snow with only ten minutes to live. She is not alone. A Presence––manipulative and seductive––forces her to confront her buried past. Will their struggle give the skier the courage and faith to survive? Featuring Robert Henkel Jr. and Barbara Hatch, under the direction of Kent Kirkpatrick.
Sworn to Water by Dale Dunn explores the life and poetry of the little-known, great American poet Lorine Niedecker, who created a luminous body of work while living in rural isolation. This play, with the artful use of video and sound design, brings Niedecker’s world to life, evoking a story full of desire, humor, frustration, and hope. Featuring Lynn Goodwin, Natachee Momaday Gray, Campbell Martin, Koppany Pusztai, and Kat Sawyer, under the direction of Dale Dunn and Lynn Goodwin.
Dillen and Dunn are local playwrights who have garnered national and international awards and productions including the Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference, the Edinburgh and New York Fringe Festivals, the Samuel French Festival of One Act Plays, and the Tout’ Tout Court Festival in Montreal. Last seen in Santa Fe: Dillen’s Two Wives in India and Dunn’s The Big Heartless.
