Rutgers Theater Company Presents: Playwrights Festival

And Yet The [Earth] Moves by alum Sam Hankins: December 6 and 9 at 7:30 p.m.
And Yet The Earth Moves is a time traveling mystery set in the American south. We follow a team of park rangers as they search Smith Lake and the surrounding community for a missing girl, but their investigation finds more questions than answers. The lake’s manmade past comes into focus during their search, and the ghosts at the bottom of the lake hold all the answers. Directed by Rachel Dart.

Performance trailer of How To Get Rid of Yourself by student Amanda Horowitz: December 6 and 9 at 7:30 p.m.
A performance-trailer made from excerpts of How To Get Rid of Yourself — an in-progress play that moves between human and non-human storylines to explore indeterminacy and multi-species survival. 

Angela Davis’s School For Girls With Big Eyes by alum Thalia Sablon: December 7 at 7:30 p.m.; December 10 at 2 p.m.
Here at Angela Davis’s School For Girls With Big Eyes, students wrestle with a lot. Learning Abolitionist framework and managing ever-changing relationship statuses come hand in hand. Their studies and relationships are put into question when they realize there might be a mole in their mix. How will the students of Angela Davis’s school work through finding the mole and finishing their studies? Directed by Abigail Jean-Baptiste.

The Wolf And The King: A Myth by student Sam Giberga: December 8 and 10 at 7:30 p.m.
Jenny is a normal high-school girl—with a remarkable secret. Out of the pages of Greek tragedy comes a tale of wolves, betrayal, and prom dresses. Directed by Matt Dickson.
