Presented by Penfold Theatre Co.
Pull back the curtain for an intimate view of the playmaking process! Penfold has collected scripts in development by rising stars in the Central Texas playwriting community and will be teasing them to audiences in a series of play readings throughout the spring and summer. Join us at the Round Rock Public Library’s beautiful new downtown campus while we nurture local voices, enjoy an up-close evening of laughter and surprise, and support Penfold’s new home in Round Rock, set to open this fall! Read more about their new space here.
Anton ChekhovDeus Ex Machina is a live, choose-your-own-adventure performance that gives total control of the play’s storyline to the audience. Written by Penfold Associate Artistic Director Liz Fisher, Deus Ex Machina rips characters from Greek mythology and throws them into a gladiator ring. Through the power of Zeus, the audience is transformed into gods and battle it out like clashing titans to determine the fates of the infamous characters of the House of Atreus: Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Electra, and Orestes. But no matter what the audience chooses, there are consequences, and not all of these characters will make it out alive. Best for High School+ ages.
