🎟Admission is FREE! To learn more about EDP's New Works Program and to reserve your free seats, please visit: www.EdmondsDriftwoodPlayers.org/new-works/
Synopsis: In this dark comedy set in the 1980’s, our heroine Jacquilene begins a new chapter when she starts working at a Seattle dating service, Adam and Eve. Dating for Jacks has been horror-filled colored by heartache; why does every date end the same way? Treading water in a cycle of sex, love, disinterest, rejection, pursuit and desire, Jacks accidentally meets the glamorous Becky Cardash who is host to her own, troubling challenges. When Becky crosses that final line, Jacks is forced to confront her own past traumas and wrest control of her destiny. Using stage spot-lighting and five actors, Eve and Adam is a surreal exploration into how bewildering and yet redeeming the search for love and self can be.
Featuring the acting talents of: Shelby Windom, Dawn Simpson, Asa Sholdez, Trent Latta, and Nicolas Johnson.
Expected Run Time: 90 minutes, with no intermission. A Playwright Feedback session will be held after the reading and is encouraged but optional to stay and participate.
Content Warning(s): Adult language, discussions of sexual and physical violence, alcohol use, sexuality, murder.
First Draft is a FREE staged reading series, but we ask that you reserve tickets, in case of changes to capacity prior to the event. We will be checking people off on a door list upon arrival, so you will NOT receive printed tickets in the mail or at Will Call.
Our concessions and bar will NOT be open.
