IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...
The Aurora Theatre used 365 as a theatrical tour of their gorgeous new Lawrenceville home. The plays were performed in various rooms, including the mainstage theater, and the smaller
"Discovery Point Theater." Local playwright Gabriel Dean (whose play is currently in production in the Discovery Point Theatre) led the audience through the space. Our guide also provided information about all the rooms we visited-- he even hopped into the scene during certain plays as an actor. The Aurora succeeded in caring for its conservative audience base while still maintaining the integrity of the plays by letting the audience know which rooms along the tour would house plays with strong language. In this way, individual audience members held the responsbility for their own sensitivities. I attended Saturday night, and I believe that everyone watched all the plays despite the warning. I'm told the same held true for Thursday and Fridays nights, though much of Sunday's audience decided to opt out of going to those rooms. This wide acceptance seems indicative of the Aurora audience's willingness to give edgier material a chance.
This week, Ms. Parks must have felt a bit restless or uneasy. The plays mostly include characters who search for something, or characters who ponder the meaning of things. One of the plays is even called, A Search For The Meaning of Life. In another play, Bear, the Woman character comments, "I dunno. I feel very- insignificant. I've been writing - 'plays,' I call them. I have, what my dad would call, the 'audacity' to call them plays. Shits. Theyre shits. 365 shits."
