First Draft! is where you get to take part in the creative process that goes into completing an original work. Actors dramatize the work "readers-theatre" style as an audience reacts and the author sees what works and what doesn't. After the reading is done there is a Q&A session with the dramatist. Events such as this are rarely open to the public. We hope you join us as we bring yet another exciting live arts experience to the Edmonds community. FREE ADMISSION! |

Feb. 07, 2010 –
The Beacon, by
Keith McGregor
directed by
Renee Gilbert
Synopsis :
Parents always want what’s best for their kids, or at least
what they think is best.
The problem is, who can know what will turn out best for
anyone? And at
what point do parents have to turn their kids loose to make their
own way in the
world, and to make their own mistakes?
In the small town of Shady Oaks, Mississippi, two parents,
in separate families,
try, with varying degrees of success, to guide their adult
children in the directions
which they have chosen for their offspring.
Parents plan and children revolt, with results that range
from the serious to the
hilarious in Keith McGregor’s new comedy/drama, The Beacon.
Apr. 11, 2010 – A Strange Disappearance of Bees, by Elena Hartwell

June 13, 2010 – Spurred Revenge, by Machelle Allman
directed
by David Alan Morrison
Synopsis :
It's a small town west of the Mississippi, and everyone knows everyone, and everybody's business.
But no one knows the stranger in town or why he was gunned down in the road - at least, no one is admitting it.
Down at Helen's saloon, it's up to Sheriff Buckley to sniff out the answers.
But is the Truth more than the townsfolk can bear?
