Plays in Progress is the Georgia Fine Arts Academy’s new play reading series, aiming to support emerging works by giving them the opportunity for public performance. The series also includes talk back segments after each reading during which the audience can discuss the readings with their playwrights. The next installment of Plays in Progress is a reading of Jeff Auerbach’s Look Away Dixieland, which will be read by local actors Jeff Clarke, Millie Rose Evans, Fred Galyean and Jase Wingate. The play is a Eugene O’Niell Semi-finalist for best unproduced American play and follows a family reckoning with their dying relative’s confession to a racially motivated murder, addressing themes of how we face our pasts as individuals, families and as a society. This performance is recommended for ages 16 and up.
