    • May 10-30: Salt Lake Acting Company presents ‘heightened’ virtual production of Audrey Cefaly’s Alabaster, streaming online. The play, directed and filmed virtually, marks the first production of its kind for SLAC and will be streamed on-demand through the theatre’s streaming platform, SLAC Digital. ALABASTER was included in the 2019 Kilroys List, an annual naming of new and under-produced work by female and transgender playwrights in the American theatre.

    • Synopsis: The inhabitants of a small farm in Alabaster, Alabama are no strangers to destruction and loss. But when an outsider arrives to help them make sense of the past, they must confront their mortality and deal with the trauma head-on. Through laughter, tears, and even a couple of talking goats, Audrey Cefaly weaves a darkly comic southern tale of redemption that examines how one reassembles the pieces of a broken heart.
