May 22: AND THE WIND HOWLS by Leean Kim Torske; Directed by Jared Mohr-Leiva
Jen returns to her small Wyoming hometown after an eye-opening first year of college. She wants a different life than her family had, but she’s decided that Wyoming might not be so bad after all. Her best friend Amber can’t wait to leave. The one thing they agree on is that their small town has never felt so small. Inspired by Wyoming’s history of trailblazing women, Jen buckles down to create social progress, change local politics, or if nothing else, show her mom that a rough-talking, hard-working Wyoming woman can shift the way the wind is blowing. AND THE WIND HOWLS was featured at the Wyoming Arts Council 2019 Summit.
PLAYWRIGHTS VOICED features mature content and is recommended for adult audiences. Each reading will be followed by an optional chatback with the artistic team.
Readings are free; donations to Relative Theatrics are encouraged.
Relative Theatrics strives to present thought-provoking theatre that examines the joining qualities of the human race. We believe that theatre is a forum with the power to illuminate the binding qualities of humanity and reinforce the ideals that as a society we have values that pose as common ground and emotions that relate us to one another. Taking artistic risk, we provide a community gathering place where thoughts can be exchanged about society, culture, and the power of creativity.
