The Skeleton Rep

Creation in the Age of Quarantine

3/25/2020

"Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears..."

THIS SHIT IT CRAZY?! RIGHT?
If you find yourself screaming this into a pillow, out loud, or in your head multiple times a day, you are not alone. Artists are also our gig workers, servers, bartenders, and sitters, all jobs which require us to be present & in person, at a particular point in time. Asking these folks to stay at home is a different kind of challenge and we know we have got the itch to create something amidst the uncertainty and anxiety.

So! Let's Create Something!

We'll be sending out a prompt by the end of the month, but it's going to be based on YOUR interest! If you're looking to write, act (which will involve self-filming on a smart phone or computer), or both write and act, then fill out our survey! We'll only be taking replies for a few more days, so please head over to our form
"Performance from the Quarantine - Intake Form."
Feel free to share this with folks who you think might be interested!

Looking forward to hearing from you. Go forth and create in the face on Chaos!
Explore our collectively Modern, Mythical Moment!

The Wheels are in Motion this Summer

It’s been a busy Spring/Summer for Skeleton Rep!

In April, we christened a new salon space with a Homecoming Salon featuring plays by some of our favorite writers, performed by some of our favorite actors.

In May, Skeleton Rep hosted a closed developmental reading of “Standards” by Ali Keller.

In June, Skeleton Rep produced a Special Edition Salon at The Tank of “Confessional” by Emily Claire Schmitt, featuring Miranda Poett, Nick Ong, Scott Martineck, Gael Schaefer, Barron Bass, and Elvin McRae.

And finally, in July, we presented our inaugural Explore Modern Myth short play festival at The Tank to a sold out audience! The festival was the first production all Core members of Skeleton Rep worked on together and, if we do say so ourselves, we killed it.

Stay tuned for announcements about more new work from Skeleton Rep, coming Fall 2019!

"Devices of Torture" opened over the weekend - & the Mistresses were pleasing!

"In the daring, delightfully scintillating, and damn tantalizing "Devices of Torture," the women have grown tired of waiting on the world to change. These dommes are making their own rules, and you better have thick skin, a whole lotta wit, and a big heart to play the game." - Zennie Trieu
