OPC Playwrights on Stage: 2024
MATTHEW PAUL OLMOS: A HOME WHAT HOWLS (OR THE HOUSE WHAT WAS RAVINE)
Developed at OPC in 2022, a home what howls is a modern myth drawn from the real-life struggles of displaced communities around the globe. The play is a lyrically-rendered quest of youth activism standing against forces of injustice. February 7 – March 2 at Steppenwolf Theater, Chicago.
VIVIAN JO BARNES: THE SENSATIONAL SEA MINK-ETTES
Developed at OPC in 2022, The Sensational Sea Mink-ettes is the funny, surprising story of a dance troupe days away from their Homecoming half-time performance, and everyone is expecting perfection. As the big day creeps closer, the women must contend with flaring tempers, bodies pushed to their limits, and what it means to be a team. February 4 - March 3 at Woolly Mammoth, Washington, D.C.
ANNA ZIEGLER: THE JANEIAD
Developed at OPC in 2022, The Janeiad follows Jane, a woman who has spent 20 years longing for her husband to return to her after 9/11, a parallel to the way Penelope awaits Odysseus' return in The Odyssey. October 11 - November 3 at Alley Theatre, Houston.
