On Thursday, April 19, 2018, at 1:30 p.m., Burien Actors Theatre’s Script Club will meet at Merrill Gardens. This is a FREE event, and everyone is invited! This month BAT’s script club will be discussing…
During Rapture, Blister, Burn (just ended) BAT had the opportunity to secure the rights to its October 2018 show with one caveat. The agent wanted the funds now, or BAT could not secure the rights…
BAT is a nonprofit (501(c)(3) entity) that means we do have not shareholders, but we do serve the community. BAT was recently asked, “Does BAT do more than just put on plays?”
As a BAT volunteer, this is an odd question because I see what BAT does, but it is worth answering.
Where to begin?
BAT has a script club. It is where people in the community read a script a month and talk about it. (Like a book club). LINK
BAT has a playwriting group, Seattle Playwrights Studio. BAT’s effort to help keep theater alive and well. LINK
BAT has a lending library, BALL. It is located in Phoenix Tea in Burien. LINK Right now there are about 300 scripts in BALL, but BAT will be adding about 700 more over the next few months. Look for the grand opening notice and party! (BALL had been located in a Burien bookstore, but that store recently closed.)
On the ides of March, March 15, 2018, at 1:30 pm the BAT script club will meet at Merrill Gardens. Everyone is invited!
This month BAT’s script club will be discussing Hindle Wakes. This script from 1912, is an amazing contrast to BAT’s current production of Rapture, Blister, Burn. Review / Review – TICKETS.
Both scripts, among other things, look at the role of women in society and female sexuality. While this is not the main theme in either play, it is there. What makes this month’s script club so interesting is the comparison of the views on those subjects about 100 years apart. (Hindle Wakes was published in 1912, and Rapture, Blister Burn was published in 2013.)
Come see Rapture Blister Burn TICKETS and then join BAT’s script club on March 15th to compare Rapture, Blister, Burn with Hindle Wakes. It will be great fun. It is amazing what 101 years can do.
Burien Actors Theatre script club’s monthly meeting is at Merrill Gardens on February 15, 2018, from 1:30 to 2:30 pm. BAT’s script club is open to all who want to learn more about live theater…
BAT has a lending library. It is located in Phoenix Tea on 152nd in Burien. Right now there are about 300 books and scripts in BALL, Burien Actors Lending Library. A small personal library has just been donated to BAT, so the number will rise as the books and scripts can be labeled and logged in.
So, why does BAT have a lending library?
The short answer is that when BAT looked for scripts to produce, there were none to be found in Burien. Sure, a bookstore or two had some Shakespeare, but nothing more recent. But there is much more to the answer to that question.
