It was so great to have Marshall with us as part of the Mason Festival... the interplay of theater, music, television, opera, film, and visual art (next year: Dance! Multimedia!) was rich. Marshall's commentary at the QL screening and at the Festival luncheon the next day really made us think about values, both personal and professional, in the realms of art and the larger world. A real highlight. Or a highlight reel.

This was a great segment of the arts festival. We viewed the quarterlife pilot and were able to ask Marshall questions. ~~Lady Di (see more photos on my page)

Come support emerging playwrights and new plays! These readings are always fantastic and offer a chance to see a new work that could receive a full production someday! Be the first to hear these new scripts being read by local talent!

Theater of the First Amendment
Mariela in the Desert by Karen Zacarías. Opens June 12 @ 8 pm in the Harris Theater. How far will we go to free our creativity?
Mariela and José were once the golden couple of the Mexican artists’ inner-circle. Together they built a family and an artist colony to host friends Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and Rufino Tamayo. But now their daughter has grown and run away, their friends are too famous to call, and artistic inspiration has been strangled by isolation and lies. Set in the Northern Mexican desert in 1950, Mariela in the Desert is a deadly mystery – a layered yet profoundly honest story of what happens to a family when creativity is forced to dry and wither away. masonfestival.org
