Brown/Trinity Launch SuRF Theatre

This summer, Brown University and Trinity Rep launch SuRF, or their Summer Repertory Festival. It is the newest iteration of the two organizations' combined effort to support new plays in the summer. This first season, housed at Production Workshop, Brown's only student-run theatre, will feature a full production of a new version of The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence by Madeleine George and the first workshop of The Locus by Lucy Thurber.

First up, Madeleine George's The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence was nominated for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize, but Madeleine didn't stop there. She has been writing a new version of the play, and you can see it for the first time right here at SuRF!

Featuring Mark Cohen, Elise Hudson, and Dennis Kozee, and directed by Ellie Heyman, this story of helpers and lovers

will play four performances only from July 22-25.

4 Watsons: the

assistant to Sherlock Holmes, the assistant to Alexander Graham Bell, the computer the won

Jeopardy, and an IT guy. Their worlds collide across time and space.

Then, SuRF will present the first staged workshop of award-winning playwright Lucy Thurber's new work The Locus, a gritty story of companionship featuring Ngozi Anyanwu and Sophie Netanel, will be presented to the public for one night only, July 28th at 7:30pm.

All tickets to SuRF productions are Pay-What-You-Can, meaning that as opposed to a fixed ticket price, you make a donation to SuRF at the level to which you are able, and thus join our community of audience collaborators. We cannot make new work without you.

Every performance will be followed by an outdoor marshmallow roast and friendly chit- chat with the cast and crew.
