NO MINCED WORDS
A 48-Hour Playwriting Experiment
Produced by Rae and Jamie Boller, Co-Founders of FEMMEmphis
The concept for this mini play-fest was inspired by Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogels' Bake Off writing exercise, meant to help writers "get out of their own way." By providing a few guidelines to spark imagination and, most importantly, a short deadline, writers are forced to eliminate any self-censorship that might otherwise inhibit creativity. The results are often surprising and always rewarding. In May 2017, eight incredibly talented women took our recipe of "rules" and less than two days to craft new original works. With a few short hours for rehearsal (in a studio showcasing extraordinary pieces from four local female artists) another equally talented group of women gave voice to each new play in an evening of staged readings. It was our goal with this event to provide a space and opportunity for women to share their stories. Though drawn from similar sources of inspiration, eight distinct works were created, each with a unique perspective and voice. The result was an evening of entertaining and truly compelling theater!
