Circle Theatre - Water By The Spoonful
Performance: March 21, 2024 – April 13, 2024 | By Quiara Alegría Hudes
Water by the Spoonful is a play about the power of meeting. We meet in Philadelphia,
where Elliot has returned from Iraq and is struggling to find his place in the world.
We meet in an online chat room, a digital sanctuary where recovering addicts keep each
other alive, hour by hour, day by day. We meet in Puerto Rico. We meet in Japan. We meet
in the moment and outside of the moment, as boundaries of family and community are
stretched across continents and cyberspace. Birth families splinter and online families
collide in this beautiful play that reminds us of the power of family, the need for
connection, and the healing value of forgiveness. Meet us at Circle Theatre this March to
experience this unforgettable Pulitzer Prize-Winning Regional Premiere

Amphibian Stage Productions - Marie And Rosetta
Performance: APRIL 5 – 28 2024 | By By George Brant
“God don’t want the Devil to have all the good music right?” Witness the collision of
gospel and rock as DFW favorite Denise Lee embodies the incomparable “Godmother of
Rock ‘N’ Roll,” legendary Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The play chronicles Tharpe’s first
rehearsal with protégée Marie Knight in 1947, setting the stage for a historic tour
that would establish them as one of the most significant music duos of the 20th century.
Despite their influence on Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and more, Knight and
Tharpe go largely uncredited for their contributions to rock and roll. George Brant’s
play aims to correct historical oversights by providing a stage for Marie and Rosetta
to share their story through powerful performances
