Medicine Ball: Playwrights v. Poets
Medicine Ball: Playwrights v. Poets Returns for a Valentine's Weekend Battle Royale
Medicine Ball: Playwrights v. Poets returns for a special Valentine's Weekend edition at West of Lenin theatre in Fremont as the World's Greatest Literary Boxing Match of the Year takes on literally the most fearsome tropic to face mankind Love and Sex.
Presented by Seattle Theatre Works, formerly the Seattle Playwrights' Collective, this knock-'em, sock 'em literary challenge plays February 13 15 at West of Lenin with performances on Friday and Saturday at 8 pm and Sunday at 2 pm.
Like a boxing match, playwrights and poets are paired off, given a prompt to write toward, and then the acting company performs the plays and poems produced in a series of seven rounds with the audience voting on who wins each round playwright or poet.
At the end of the weekend, the winning team of writers each wins a bottle of Two-Buck-Chuck while each member of the losing team wins a can of warm Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. So there are no losers in Medicine Ball: Playwrights v. Poets! Everybody is a winner!
We have also expanded the process to include the work of local visual artists as writing prompts, which we then project during the performance, making the whole event a truly collaborative experience between local artists of wildly divergent disciplines.
Playwrights - Jose Amador, Jessica Andrewartha, Heidi Heimarck, Joshua Jon, Scotto Moore, JC Pankratz, and Daniel Tarker
Poets Daemond Arrindell, Alex Bleecker, Kris Hall, Chelsea Kurnick, Triston McAvoy, Amber Nelson, and Imani Sims
Actors - Michael Blackwood. Patty Bonnell, Terry Boyd, Gretchen Douma, Brent Griffith, D'Arcy Harrison, David Hsieh, Fox Rain Matthews, Skye Stephenson, Christine Shaw White, Lyam White, Chip Wood , and Mahria Zook
Visual Artists - Laura Antone, MO Anoun, Paul Bestock, Kymberlee della Luce, Colleen Gnos, Kate Vrijmoet, and Omar Wiley
Directors: Ellen Graham, Katie Haster, Jen Moon and Daniel Tarker
