Letter Writing with Hook & Eye Theater

To celebrate the start of Women's History Month, is pleased to welcome to host an evening of letter writing inspired by their play ; a darkly funny, time-collapsing caper of resistance, resourcefulness, and rebellion, where history collides with the here-and-now, and women running things aren’t nearly as quiet as they seem.

Join Plan C ensemble members to write your own secret letter to an important woman in your life. Craft supplies are included in your ticket, and we'll mail it off for you!

About Hook & Eye:
Hook & Eye Theater (Producer) makes new plays knit from a collage of impossible-to-imagine things fastened together to jostle the past, query our now, and tease the everyday. Mining themes from history and science we intentionally combine incongruent source material through highly physical, deeply playful ensemble co-creation and co-authorship. By inventing uncommon relationships, blending genres, and crafting multigenerational stories we offer audiences visceral experiences to encourage civic hilarity, inquiry, and joy. Through our community PlayLabs, education initiatives, and full-length productions, Hook & Eye is a company committed to crafting sharp, genre defying work that engages audiences with current social issues.

About the play:
PLAN C is a darkly funny, time-collapsing caper of resistance, resourcefulness, and rebellion, where history collides with the here-and-now, and women running things aren’t nearly as quiet as they seem. In 1620 Brussels, imperial postmistress Alexandrine Von Taxis, moves more than mail through the empire’s hands during The Thirty Years’ War. In present-day West Virginia, Charley Gibson runs her family’s hardware store, where lockers hide more than tools. One misplaced letter. One break-in. As 17th-century espionage collides with a small-town network, PLAN C exposes how rebellion takes shape—through wit, nerve, and crossing a line.
