Boys and Girls:  Three short plays by contemporary playwrights

Common Ground Theatre, Durham
February 11 – 21, 2010

The three plays are:

Burying Barbie, by New York-based playwright Christopher Dimond blends dark humor and touching sadness in the story of a morbid seven-year-old and her imaginary friend. Toys get killed. Directed by G. Todd Buker.

boygirlboygirl comes from another NY-based writer Jason Williamson, who was raised in Rocky Mount, NC and got his undergrad degree from UNC-Greensboro. Williamson uses flowing, poetic language to spin a psychological tale of a young man and his obsession with a girl he does not know. Directed by G. Todd Buker.

Ask Him in the Morning is written by Bare Theatre’s Resident Director Carmen-maria Mandley. This first-person show-within-a-show details the life and sins of Gunnar Clarence Carpenter, a construct of Mandley’s, who blurs the lines between criminal and victim. Directed by Carmen-maria Mandley, fight choreography by Heather J. Hackford assisted by Jason Bailey.
