About the Show

Produced by Carlyle King

The UC6 NEW PLAY SLAMFEST are plays still "under construction". This is the result of the playwrights' one-year commitment to our workshop. These readings are the next stage in their development and we hope you can join us!

January 27th at 7:30pm – The Center

By JT Baldassarre

Directed by Richard Gershman

A Teen, a widow, and a heartbroken young woman undergo experimental exposure therapy for Prolonged Grief Disorder. The treatment—which uses AI to artificially "resurrect" their dead loved ones—quickly unravels into a messy, absurd examination of what it means to move on, and whether it's a myth altogether.

February 2nd at 7:30pm – Piñata

By Casey J. Adler

Directed by TBA

Your best friend is seeing demons. Do you take him to a shrink or a strip club? Piñata is the story of three criminally immature dudes working through mental health issues.

February 3rd at 7:30pm – SKIN HUNGER

By Julianne Jigour

Directed by TBA

A tattoo artist who can't sleep alone. A professional cuddler who preaches the gospel of boundaries. A man who wears his past on his skin. A widow reaching for her estranged son—and the silent girl she pulls into her grasp. In a city full of strangers, five people search for connection that might comfort—or unravel—them.

February 17th at 7:30pm – THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT

By Talisa Friedman

Directed by Carlyle King

Roland Rykard, a moderately successful painter, has died. When his family gathers in Albuquerque to mourn, they are forced to confront the childhood tragedy they've been outrunning for decades. Both magical and devastating, The Land of Enchantment explores what we owe our family, our art, and ourselves.
