Readers Theater Presentation: "Body Awareness" by Annie Baker

It's "Body Awareness" week on a Vermont college campus and Phyllis, the organizer, and her partner, Joyce, are hosting one of the guest artists in their home. Frank is a photographer famous for his portraits of female nudes. Both his presence in the home and his chosen subject instigate tension from the start. Phyllis is furious about his photographic depictions, but Joyce is actually rather intrigued, even going so far as to contemplate posing for him. As Joyce and Phyllis bicker, Joyce's adult son, who may or may not have Asperger's Syndrome, struggles to express himself physically with heartbreaking results.

This Reader's Theater presentation was written by Annie Baker and features Kaly McKenna, Michael Fuller, Kate Hewitt and Jim Caputo. Sound and lights by Raylene J. Wall. Produced and directed by Debbie David. Adult content/language.
