Tonight, we’re marching on as WORKING TITLE PLAYWRIGHTS presents Hank Kimmel’s DIVIDED AMONG THEMSELVES as part of the new Ethel Woolson Lab, 7:30 p.m., at the Academy Theatre.
DIVIDED AMONG THEMSELVES is a 90-minute, four-woman comedy that reflects and explores the differing views in America toward money, charity, and self-reliance.

With Lorilyn Harper, Stacy Melich, Shayne Kohout and Cara Mantella. Directed by Patricia Henritze with dramaturgy by Suehyla El-Attar.

When four sisters meet in their father’s rent-controlled apartment for the reading of his will, one of them will come out ahead, if she’s willing to stand up for herself.

DIVIDED AMONG THEMSELVES starts when four sisters meet in their father’s rent-controlled apartment for what they think will be the reading of their father’s will. Instead of being final, the father’s will gives the women one hour to work it out on their own, requiring them to come together in a way they never have before. Limited by time and history, the sisters struggle to find middle ground. Each has led her life differently, and, while trying to figure out what’s best, their views of life diverge, clash, and change.

As the eldest (a rabbi) tries to hold the family together, the second eldest (a real estate developer) is out to destroy. The decision hangs in the balance of the two youngest sisters: a seriously-in-debt tennis pro; and a torn spiritualist. As the grandfather clock proceeds to the fatal hour, the lines between measured compromise and ruthless self-interest begin to blur.
We hope to see you tonight, Monday, March 1, 2010, 7:30 p.m. at Academy Theatre, 119 Center St., Avondale Estates, GA.

The Playwrights Playground is a ground-breaking series of workshops that are designed to explore the element of “play” in playwriting.

Through a hands-on series of playwriting exercises and drills, Hank Kimmel will lead the group through an exploration of self, character, and story. Sometimes playwrights get stuck. Sometimes they don’t know what they want to say. Sometimes they know what they want to say but are unable to say it. These workshops – taken either individually or together – will give playwrights the tools to advance both themselves and their plays. Be prepared to write and share.
Saturdays 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.:

August 29: The Playwright – Getting in shape

October 3: The Character – Race strategy

November 7: The Story – Going for it all
