Reborning

Its a bizarre world out there. Zayd Dohrn's play deal with a "reborning" artist - a woman who paints, sculpts dolls to look like real babies. She suspects an older woman, a client, may be the mother who abandoned her.

You've got to see these dolls. They are totally creepy. There's also something enormously hokey about the hobby too. And the websites embrace that hokeyness.

The cast are all juilliard students who are approaching the material slowly and steadfastly. We've three weeks to put this on its feet. There are a number of technical issues we won't be able to tackle (crying babies and video projections), but the goal is to develop a new play while simultaneously stretching these students.
