MAST at paper chairs

paper chairs is proud to premiere MAST, a new play by paper chairs co-founder and local playwright Elizabeth Doss that explores a nuclear family born of World War II as it blows apart over the globe.

On an Air Force base outside Abilene, TX, Anne, a rancher’s daughter, and Walter, a globe-trotting journalist, conceive a child in the heat of wartime frenzy. The two recklessly elope to the Trujillo-oppressed Dominican Republic and face the edges and ends of themselves. Based on the legacy from Doss's own mid-century Texan relatives, MAST is a photograph that spans the decades of Anne and Walter's estranged lives, un-posed, only half-exposed and lost at sea.
