Check out what's happening this month!
ParityFest Baltimore 2015, a city-wide readings festival aimed at increasing gender parity in the arts! The List, a compilation of the most recommended new and under-produced plays written by female playwrights. Cohesion Theatre, working with The Kilroys, is coordinating a festival of readings of all of the 2015 plays (likely 45 in number) over the course of six weeks, which will be complemented by workshops on gender issues and discussions with playwrights, actors, directors, designers, and cultural leaders.

Readings at Spotlighters:
Thur, July 30 - 7:30pm
THE GHOSTS OF LOTE BRAVO -
Synopsis: Raquel has been beaten, raped, and left for dead in desert of Lote Bravo. La Santa Muerte enters and cradles her head, the end is near. But at home her mother is pulling fate by the other end of the string, she is desperate to find her daughter. She tries the corrupt and inept police department to no avail. Her co-worker, Camille, gives her a statue of La Santa Muerte and the advice to ask her for help. That night, in her one room shack, after tucking the younger children and into bed on their mattress she evokes the goddess' help. La Santa Muerte appears and leads Juanda on a journey of discovery, where she watches the tragedy unfold.
Each night she is warned by the spirit that "you will learn things that cannot be unlearned" and that "these are visions that drive many to insanity."
Will Juanda continue? Can she continue? Whose force is stronger, a mother's love or the sheer will of death?
Overlaid beautifully with this tragic tale is also a Folktale that seamlessly bridges the gap between harsh reality and lasting beauty.
