"Watermelon in Wartime" by Elaine DiFalco Daugherty
The one-woman show is the true story of Mariam Saad and her experiences during the 33-days war in Lebanon in 2006 when she was 14.
"Starpattern" by Carolyn Gage
A play about two extraordinarily courageous young women who survived the 1966 mass shooting on the University of Texas at Austin. Claire Wilson, one of the first victims, lay wounded on the South Mall, unable to be rescued while the sniper was still active. Rita Starpattern ran out, at tremendous risk, lay down next to her, and engaged her in a conversation that kept her conscious and alive for over an hour. A play about the transformative power of witnessing and being witnessed.
