David and Jonathan Screenplay by Charles Harvey In the Jim Crow South, a mother makes a desperate promise to God: if her newborn son lives, she will make him a minister. Years later, the free-spirited Jonathan appears—singing and bathing in a nearby creek—and David is drawn to him in ways his mother cannot abide. A haunting story where devotion, desire, and faith collide with tragic consequence. ____________________________________ Salome Means Peace Stage Script by Velvia Wylie Keithley Award-winning playwright Velvia Wylie Keithley reimagines the biblical Salome—both as a girl in ancient Judea and a modern corporate woman—each trapped between a mother’s ambition and her own longing for freedom. As time folds upon itself, love becomes currency, and peace becomes the ultimate act of rebellion. 🎟 Join the Conversation After the readings, stay for an engaging Talkback Session with the playwrights and performers. Enjoy refreshments, network with fellow artists, and share your insights. Let’s celebrate local storytelling, connect with fellow creatives, and leave inspired to write, film, and dream bigger. |
