Actors Theatre of Indiana (ATI) and the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation present Emma S. Rund’s Rosemary & Time at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 20 at the Carmel Clay Public Library as part of ATI’s LabSeries.
The show is free, however you should reserve your spot at this link.
Synopsis
Rosemary & Time is the story of a woman struggling with early-onset Alzheimer’s. When her daughters come home for Thanksgiving, she is forced to face the fact that she is losing her grip on reality. Experiencing Act 1 from Rosemary’s perspective, the audience goes along for the ride as she forgets recipes, names, and faces. Rosemary will eventually have to ask herself, is she made up of her memories or is she still herself when all her memories are gone? When the time comes, will Rosemary be able to let go?
The location of the performance is the Carmel Clay Public Library, 425 E. Main St.
As part of this unique experience, you will hear from Rund, as well as those acting in the production, and be able to ask some questions of your own.
The LabSeries began as a way for ATI to nurture new plays and playwrights. Each season, ATI chooses three plays and playwrights who enjoy an intensive weekend of work shopping, discussion, and development with a cast of professional actors and directors in a creative laboratory setting. Each play has a reading and a talk-back session with Actors Theatre of Indiana audiences, staff, cast and playwrights.
ATI and the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation formed this partnership earlier this year. The two organizations share similar mission statements – to engage, inspire lifelong discovery and learning, to provide enriching social and cultural experiences and to entertain. The LabSeries is a great way to provide the community with a look into what goes into creating a play and getting it into production.
