ALLOND(R)A tells the story of Allonda and her friends as they wrestle their way through the summer - sometimes it's on the playgrounds in the projects of Coney Island, sometimes it's with their feelings and often it's at home. A coming of age story about friendship and heartache, ALLOND(R)A asks
how much is too much to fight for?

Shiloh is happy. She and her friends in the Word of Joy do nothing but live, love, tell truths, and dream of the day when they will be called up to the Floating World. But when a stranger arrives, full of words from a world theyve tried to forget, Shiloh and the others must consider for the first time if theyre as happy as they seem. A play about cults, stories, joy, sadness, truth, lies, and why we believe the things we believe.

ALLOND(R)A and Some Pictures of the Floating World mark the first half of the 2018 Writer's Round Table. These plays will be presented in rotating rep.

The Writer's Round Table is a new developmental writers' group comprised of four carefully selected playwrights whose work challenges and/or reimagines systemic norms. These four playwrights will join us for a 9-month developmental process to exchange ideas and develop their plays which will culminate in each play receiving two public workshop performances, presented in repertory in the Spring and Fall of 2018
