ATHENA WRITES will leave you astounded at how much quality and innovation you can cram into 10 minutes. Eight plays, a huge cast of gifted actors, and out-of-the-box writing create an evening of theatrical bliss.

Tom Block’s AUBERGINE has siblings contemplating relevant topics like eggplants and nothingness. A rescued man develops a huge appetite for life in Maximilian Clark’s THE CONNOISSEUR, while Wynoami Glasser’s BLUNT PROPOSITION deals with grief and its aftermath. ALVIN BALLISTER V. ALVIN BALLISTER by Alex Hersler asks how much of a good thing is too much, and Xavier Toby’s THE CURIOUS FINGER discovers new forms of pleasure and power. Sarah Kinsey’s DATING HISTORY and Alex Thompson’s DIGBY ENLIGHTMENT bring us the lighter sides of dating and religion, and Veronique Ory’s all-too-real ALTERNATION takes us on a subway ride where race, homelessness, and yoga become unlikely traveling partners.

ATHENA WRITES is a marvelous pou pou platter of theatrical tastings – a sample of what can be done in a short time span long on creativity and talent. Fantastic!
