Catch the Keys Productions - co-owned by former Women's Studies student playwright Megan Dart - is looking for stories to include in an upcoming theatre project. The Kitchen Sink Project will be a collection of stories inspired by real women and transformed into a series of theatrical monologues. Women from all walks of life are encouraged to participate.
For more information on this exciting production, contact Megan Dart or Catch the Keys.
FULL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:
In our every day, women play a variety of different roles: we are sister, mother, daughter, grandmother, career woman, caregiver, lover, wife, friend, enemy; the expectations tied to each role define us, make us stronger, build us up, tear us down, bring us home.
In response to kitchen sink realism - a cultural movement born of the 1960's depicting social realism often focusing on working class men - THE KITCHEN SINK PROJECT will be a collection of stories inspired by real women.
Think of the kitchen sink - what comes to mind? Perhaps completing unwanted chores as a child; perhaps washing your newborn for the first time; no matter how small or grand the memory, those experiences tied to the kitchen sink have moulded us, helped make us who we are today. THE KITCHEN SINK PROJECT is a study of the roles women put on, take off and mutate in and out of the home.
A series of stories intended to be transformed into theatrical monologues, THE KITCHEN SINK PROJECT will span the decades and will, hopefully, bring together a collection of deeply moving, hysterical, touching and heartbreaking (her)stories.
I invite to you to please join THE KITCHEN SINK PROJECT. Take a moment and recall a memory provoked by your kitchen sink. Perhaps the memory is tied to the sink in your home now; perhaps it of a long-ago time in your life. Regardless, what does the kitchen sink remind you of? No need to write a long response - in fact, only a few sentences are enough creative fodder.
I kindly ask all submissions please be submitted by Monday, July 20.
