1in 7 and the Audition Helpers at Darley Smith Theatre
1 in 7 is a poignant ensemble piece that speaks to the power of female connection. The quiet strength and resilience found in shared experience when a group of women meet in a breast cancer clinic. Fear of the unknown is palpable. Emotions run high as mortality, and vulnerability threaten to shatter dreams, hopes and families.
Are we at our most powerful or vulnerable when emotions run high? Does fear reveal the answer to the meaning of life and is fight or flight your choice when you have to dig deep to navigate the emotional landscape punctuated by the threat of cancer.

INTERVAL
The Audition Helpers is a meta-theatrical exploration of community theatre. A tribute to and a comedic critique to the behind-the-scenes chaos. Does life play out on stage, the page or behind the scenes. The theatrical camaraderie of community theatre is alive, when ambition and ego play at large. There is no single path to artistic aging. The age of a good wine is often likened to maturing gracefully and improving with time. For these aging thespians “aging like a fine wine,” is more complex, less mellow, more playful and likened to street smarts and sassy. A blending of sharp wit and satire.
