“The problem with writing an autobiography is it’s hard to know how it’s supposed to end.” So begins an autobiographical performance piece that I am working on for The Plagiarists Theatre Company’s upcoming salon. An artists’ salon is an opportunity for a group of individuals to share work that has been developed independently inspired by a single theme. They are evenings full of eclectic entertainment in a casual setting. I’ve had the pleasure to participate in several salons with The Plagiarists before, and I am always captivated by the many variations on the theme that get presented: songs, essays, short plays, fiction, and the indescribable. This salon’s theme is “Rip It Up.”
Oh, and did I mention this is a FREE event?
Performances are Monday, November 20th and Tuesday, November 21st at MATILDA-babyATLAS, 3101 N. Sheffield Ave, Chicago. Social hour begins at 7 PM, and the performances begin at 8 PM. And, yes, admission is free!
The salon is curated by Sara Jean McCarthy and will feature work from the following artists:
