Play Reading: Country Fried Murder by Judy Klass
<p>Please take a second to support The Quarantine Players with a donation to help us keep putting on great new plays like this one: https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/quarantine-players-a-virtual-theater-company/general_support </p> <p>A group of people gathers for a songwriters' retreat in the Rocky Mountains in the mid-2000s. Their "mentor" is an abrasive, charismatic country singer/songwriter named Kyle Samperson. He humiliates some for their songwriting, personally offends some and clashes about politics with others. By the time Kyle turns up dead in Act Two, everyone has a motive for killing him. Snowed in, without internet or phone, the other characters size each other up and wonder whodunit. </p> <p>Judy Klass, Playwright, A. J. Campbell <br> Producer Katy Blake, Director <br> Clint Aphin as Brice, Laurie Canaan as Roberta, Lane Wright as Charlie, Jack E. Chambers as Kyle, Kathy Kerns as Martha, Sophia Sutton as Tiffany, Judy Jackson as Denise, Alyssa Borg as Li, Robert Beard as Ed</p>

This play has an Iguana for a Protagonist by Liz Dooley
<p><strong>This play has an Iguana for a Protagonist by Liz Dooley<br> </strong>In the aftermath of a massive miscommunication about biology, iguana Arthur comes to the conclusion that his best friend, a human named Mari, must be dying. He makes up his mind to take the most “noble” course of action—whether Mari likes it or not. Part madcap comedy, part menstrual health PSA. </p> <p><br> <strong>The play with an Iguana has a Sequel by Liz Dooley</strong><br> Since the last… adventure, Arthur the iguana has done everything in his power to research human biology so he doesn’t make any more big mistakes. Armed with his newfound information, he sets out to protect Mari from a new threat: himself. But was she ever really in danger? And is she actually any safer now? Part madcap comedy, part menstrual health PSA—part two. <br> <br> Followed by a talkback with the cast and writer <br> Directed by Monica Cross Produced by A. J. Campbell, Quarantine Players <br> <br> <strong>Cast<br> </strong>Voice of Iguana: Scott Sickles<br> The puppeteer is Clayton Bauldree<br> Elizabeth Rossen as Mari<br> Draper Harris as Jeff<br> Stage Direction: Gayle Grimes <br> <br> <strong>About Liz Dooley<br> </strong>Liz Dooley is an asexual- and female-identifying theatre artist based in Atlanta. Her Young Adult Play, FIDGET AND TILDY, has been featured at Synchronicity Theatre through Working Title Playwright’s First Light Series, and her work (WHEREVER) has been featured at Actor’s Express as part of the One-Minute Play Festival.

The Quarantine Players are a scrappy theater start-up that is in a position to break all the rules. We were told we can’t put out new work all the time. Yes, we can you just have to treat playwrights like they matter, make them part of the process, and value our input. We are your source for new plays from amazing playwrights. Each week we choose a new play to read for you. We are different because we involve the playwright in every step of the process. Most of our writers will attend all the rehearsals and provide feedback along the way. We don't just honor playwrights by waiting till their work goes into the Public domain so we don't have to pay them. We prefer our playwrights to still have their pulse.</p>
