New Work By Octavio Solis Developed And Read At PCPA

By: A.A. Cristi Oct. 06, 2023
Pacific Conservatory Theatre - PCPA celebrates a successful run of the company's annual InterPlay Reading Series, which culminated at the end of September with readings of three plays: CRY IT OUT by Molly Smith Meltzer, THE WAY SHE SPOKE by Isaac Gomez and, notably, the workshopping and reading of a brand-new play, OREGON GOTHIC, by Pulitzer-Prize nominated playwright Octavio Solis.
The lauded playwright and his director/collaborator, Lana Russell, spent a week in residency at PCPA to develop, workshop and have the first public readings of OREGON GOTHIC (described by the team as "a series of dark tales from Oregon") as part of the PCPA InterPlay series.
Solis and Russel also gave a Masterclass for the Conservatory, and public talkbacks following the readings. Pacific Conservatory Theatre - PCPA produced Solis' play Mother Road in 2022.
