FATHOM ~ Staged Readings, September 4th & 5th, 2025, 7pm

Join us for an evening reading of two new plays in progress exploring women's relationship to water, and how it shaped their lives. Part one of the FATHOM~of Women and Water performance theater project , holding the vision to honor and feature women artists in mid-career.

The original one-act plays, QUARRY RATS by Candyce L Rusk, set in a Wisconsin quarry in the 1970s, and EVELYN'S SALT by Tristan Y Mercado, set on a North Carolina coastline, engage memory and fragments of magical realism, written by daughters who reimagine their mother's experience with water...as a resource and an escape.

Directed by Ellie McBride, each play offers evocative and very different roles and arcs to five brillant actors, asked to bring forth the complexities inherent in each character they portray.

Join us at: kidsActing Studio, 6259 Middle Fiskville Road, Suite 2150, Austin, a new theater space located next to the ASF Cinema in the Linc, off of I35 north.

We'd love to see you there. Get your tickets now.
