Part of EJC's Staged Reading Series!Join Eastside Jewish Commons and Third Rail Repertory Theatre [https://thirdrailrep.org/] for a one-night-only staged reading of Andrea Stolowitz’s [https://andreastolowitz.com/] elegant and enchanting Antarktikos [https://andreastolowitz.com/work/antarktikos/], winner of the Oregon Book Award for Drama.
Somewhere between Oregon and Antarctica lie several points on a continuum: Susan, a writer at an artists’ residency at the South Pole; Captain Robert Falcon Scott, leader of the British Antarctic expedition of 1912; and Hilary, Susan’s 21-year-old daughter. When an insomniac EMT named Alex becomes the hapless link among them, time collapses, geographies blend, and destinies emerge.

What is a Staged Reading?
A staged reading is a form of theater where actors read from scripts while performing on stage with minimal or no sets, costumes, or props. It is a rehearsed, intermediate step between a table read and a full production, often featuring basic movement (blocking) and acting.
Andrea Stolowitz [https://andreastolowitz.com/] is an internationally produced playwright and librettist and a three-time winner of the Oregon Book Award in drama. Andrea is the recipient of the 2024 Miller Foundation mid-career artists fellowship, a recipient of the NYC Mayor’s Office Women in Theatre, Film, and Television Fund, and the recipient of the seven-year playwright residency at New Dramatists (NYC). Andrea's plays have been developed and presented nationally and internationally at theaters such as Artists Repertory Theatre, Hand2Mouth Theatre, The Long Wharf, The Old Globe, The Cherry Lane, New York Stage and Film, The Abbey Theatre, TheatreJ, and The Cork Midsummer Festival. The LA Times calls Andrea’s work “heartbreaking” and the Orange County Register characterizes her approach as a “brave refusal to sugarcoat issues and tough decisions.” Andrea’s play “The Berlin Diaries” will be published by Concord in late 2026. Andrea is currently the playwright-in-residence at The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education. MFA: UCSD
