Parley announces a workshop production of Careful Girls by Caitlin Coey |
CAREFUL GIRLS
WEST OF LENIN
November 17
Directed by Rebecca Tourino Collinsworth and featuring Grace Carmack, Emily Pike, Jenn Ruzumna, Clayton Michael, Julian Garcia, Chris Crawford, and Noelle Mestres, Careful Girls is the ninth in a series of workshop productions of new plays by local playwrights produced by Parley in 2015. Careful Girls will be presented at West of Lenin (203 N. 36th St.). Admission is pay-what-you-will.
In Careful Girls, high school juniors Liza and Taryn have been best friends since they were twelve, and the intrepid Taryn's gotten used to leading the way for the cautious Liza. But when they both start dating older boys, Liza says she's going way too far. Soon, Taryn's reputation comes under fire at school. Will Liza stick by her? Will her parents?
Caitlin Coey attended the acting program at Cornish College of the Arts and graduated from Antioch University Seattle with a B.A in Arts and Literature. While at Antioch she studied Theater of the Oppressed with Marc Wenblatt, and had the honor of being the assistant editor for the literary magazine Knock. A staged reading of her first play, The Language of this World, went up at West of Lenin in September 2014. She is a proud member of Parley, and has studied playwriting with Rebecca Tourino Collinsworth since 2012.
Parley, a new home for playwrights in Seattle, was created in 2014 by Rebecca Tourino Collinsworth, who teaches playwriting at Freehold Theatre Lab/Studio. Parley is a hybrid writing workshop and production entity that meets weekly. While many theater organizations claim to champion new work, Parley embodies this ideal in deed as well as name.
Parley invests deeply in its associate playwrights and sustains its support of them over months and years: from the false starts and tender beginnings of a scene to the completed manuscript and on through casting, rehearsal, revision, production, and beyond. Parley has produced thirteen world premieres since its 2014 inaugural season. Parley's process is unique in Seattle.
