A menagerie of people in one room


Any "first read" at the start of rehearsals for any play is exhilarating, and often overwhelming. When you have TWO plays beginning at the same time, it's a bit like waltzing with a two-headed monster.

Our decision to simultaneously mount two plays with two directors, one design team, and two casts--with the exception of the two actors who head both casts--is creating a lovely two-headed creature.


Last weekend we heard each cast read their play together out-loud for the first time.

Then, from the designers, a glimpse into the alchemy that makes theatre more than just reading out-loud.



The rotating repertory of The Changeling and Tallgrass Gothic is underway!
