SSR'S FIRST ANNUAL PLAY RAVE!
ORIGINAL PLAYS BY LOCAL PLAYWRIGHTS

SSR is proud to present staged reading of the following, never seen before, shows:

LADY OF CHAOS
August 3rd, 2012 at 8pm
Written by Thomas Constantine Moore
Directed by Rob MacGregor
Brilliant scientist Frederic manufactures ‘the perfect woman,’ Frey, as a present for his best friend and unrequited love, James, but things take several turns for the worse when James reveals his engagement to Sara and a violent chaos priestess wakes Frey and wreaks havoc in pursuit of her deadly agenda.

GOING OUT
August 4th, 2012 at 8pm
Written by Jesse Putnam
Directed by Dan Posluns
The story of the functionally dysfunctional Flaherty family of Boston: the son so obsessed with words he uses Merriam-Webster for counsel, the debutant daughter who dreams of marrying (something like) a Kennedy, the dad who can't make it out the door, and the mom who binds them.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Thomas Constantine Moore graduated from Redmond High School in 2010, and is currently pursuing a BFA in Acting at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Interested in staging some of his original work, Thomas founded the One Summer Theater Company in 2011 with other RHS students and alums and produced two one-act plays at SecondStory Repertory last August. Thomas is thrilled to be back in partnership with SSR this summer, and he hopes you enjoy the play.

Jesse Putnam is a playwright and screenwriter working in Seattle. Going Out is his fourth full-length play and first true comedy. His play The Masters was produced in 2009 at Odd Duck Studio in Seattle and in 2011 his play Super Tuesday ran at Burien Little Theatre. Also an actor, Jesse has performed in several regional plays, most recently as Von Strack in SecondStory’s production of Amadeus. Jesse is delighted to have been invited to write for SecondStory Repertory’s first play festival and thanks Mark and Jen for making this event possible. He is especially grateful to Dan and this wonderfully talented cast for their embrace of the Flaherty family and their chaotic harmony.
