The presentation begins at 7:00 pm in the Hicks House at Austin Presbyterian Seminary.
The project is curated by Austin playwright Martha Lynn Coon as part of her community and congregation-building work through Austin Presbyterian Seminary. A kind of experiment, the event poses questions about how communities can engage in positive ways through acts of creativity.

For this event, Coon supplied a list of ingredients that each playwright had to "bake" into a 10-minute play. The ingredients included:
Salt
Light
Water
Revelation
a Weather phenomenon
a character's experience of life in their 20s
and a choice of three compelling passages from Ecclesiastes
Each writer had a week to complete the play.
All four of the plays are highly theatrical, a little bit wild, and express some fun surprises. I am in much admiration of my fellow writers on this project.
Each play was rehearsed for roughly an hour, and is being brought to life through the great work by actors Katie Bender, Cristina Flores, Patrick Hill II, and Megan Todd.
