This play will ask the question, “What does a community of care look like?” We are interested in the stories of caregivers whose stories haven’t historically been centered, including nurses and family taking care of family, but also neighborhood caretakers, first responders, body workers, teachers, therapists, bartenders and hair stylists. A multidisciplinary writing team will spend the next year reading content gathered in community story circles, collaboratively developing the dramaturgical structure of the play, and taking on individual writing assignments. The process will be led and the final script edited by our co-artistic directors, Alan Berks and Leah Cooper. We estimate the time commitment to be about 25 hours spent in creative meetings, attendance in at least one story circle, and two public readings, plus about 35 hours of reading and writing time, for a total of approximately 60 hours. Compensation is a fee of $1,500.
