Upcoming New Works

Once again, Spooky Action is proudly joining Kennedy Center's Page-to-Stage New Play Festival. Now entering its 18th year, the event was created to fill the Washington, D.C. theater community's need for an accessible space to perform and workshop new plays. During this festival, theater artists receive feedback and network with others, allowing them to refine their work and develop relationships that lead to later collaborations. The free performances reflect the dynamic make-up of all corners of the city, whether you are a newcomer or a veteran to theater. This year, we present Bread by Jaclyn Enchin, directed by Shanara Gabrielle.

Bread
by Jaclyn Enchin
Directed by Shanara Gabrielle
August 31st at 10:30 AM in The Atrium

With Christopher Crutchfield Walker, Brandon McCoy, Jonathan Holmes, Megan Graves, Katie McDonald, Matthew McGee, Maya Jackson, Tro Shaw, Michael Russotto and Joseph Delguste ​
A young apprentice - "Appy" - working in a bakery in 1940s France is given a gift by Jill - a kleptomaniac girl - which happens to be the original Mona Lisa painting. Appy tries to avoid his inevitable fate by using clumsy and impulsive tactics to get rid of the thing, but encounters the top class Inspecteur Claubert, who has reluctantly hired a blabbermouth mime to seek out the painting.
