Seattle Playwrights Salon Presents BUILD YOUR CITY ON FLESH AND BONE

Seattle Playwrights Salon presents a staged reading of Build Your City on Flesh & Bone by Kat Blucker on Friday February 9 at 7 p.m. at the Conservatory, 5813 Airport Way South, Seattle 98108. Admission is free! Beer, wine, cider, and food available for purchase before and after the show, and during intermission.

Twelve days ago, 20-year-old college student Alexis Cavanaugh tried to kill herself. Now, after being released from an inpatient psychiatric hospital, she's coming home.
On the outside, Ally is the girl with everything: a cross-country scholarship, good grades, plenty of friends. But as her mom and dad struggle to re-establish a sense of normalcy, and her brother grapples with being crowded out, Ally fights the inner shame and blame that landed her back home in the first place.
Build Your City on Flesh and Bone explores the complicated web of circumstances and pressures that cause so many young women to feel perpetually overwhelmed and undervalued. And by probing the depths of human emotion and experience, it examines what makes life worth living, and how our relationships can be our scaffolding-or aftershocks that rock our foundation long after an initial disturbance.

The Conservatory is a Seattle art space and coffeehouse, community meeting place, and artists' workshop in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood, a growing and glowing arts haven in Seattle near I-5, just north of Boeing Field. The Seattle Playwrights Salon produces new play readings and full productions on the second Friday of every month at The Conservatory to give local playwrights a public place to present new work in development to a live audience.
