A unique theatrical experience not to be missed! About the play: BABY JESSICA’S WELL-MADE PLAY is a five-act phone adventure to the bottom of a well and back again. Loosely inspired by the 1987 true story of Baby Jessica, this highly interactive, intimate performance-for-one ushers audience members into conversations about fear, hope, self-care, imagination, culture, and memory. Over the course of two nights, audience members will discover what pulls them up and out of the dark. Written by Philip Santos Schafer Directed by Isabel Quinzaños Alonso Opening: 02/27 Running through the end of April Got questions? Playwright Philip Santos Schaffer has answers below! |
| What is the structure of BABY JESSICA’S WELL-MADE PLAY? Based on the traditional concept of a “well made play,” Baby Jessica’s Well-Made Play takes place in 5 acts. Unlike a traditional play, these five acts take place over the course of two separate performances. During Part 1, you’ll hear Acts I through III and in Part 2 you’ll hear Act IV. (Act V is super secret and far in the future – but don’t worry, we’ll let you know when it’s coming!) Is this like a zoom reading? A radio drama? This is like a phone call with an old friend who talks a lot! Over the course of the play, you will hear pre-recorded audio, and also have one-on-one conversations. While there is an existing script, which will guide these conversations, I welcome and encourage you to respond as naturally and in depth as you would like, when prompted to do so. There is room for you to talk a lot – or to talk very little, if you’re more comfortable that way! Do I need to attend both parts? Yes! Not only will the performance not be complete after just Part 1, but the play is structured in such a way that Part 2 requires your presence to be complete. I want to see the show on Thursday night, but there aren’t any shows on Friday. When do I do Part 2? If you purchase a Thursday ticket, instead of taking place the following evening, your next performance will be on Sunday at 2:00 pm! Find the rest of the FAQs here Tickets are limited.
