Category: Season 12

This show is a devised work created by the community and Sundown Collaborative Theatre. It has been constructed with stories submitted by the cast and community. These stories include first loves, heartache, loss, and more. Together the cast has woven the stories together to create a show about the highs and lows of love and all the ways it presents itself within our lives.

A lawyer hires an actor to tutor him in recounting, to family and friends, a story that has long troubled him concerning events that transpired while attending the funeral of an elderly recluse. There, he caught sight of a woman in black, the mere mention of whom terrifies the locals, for she is a specter who haunts the neighborhood where her illegitimate child was accidentally killed. It is rumored that anyone who sees her dies. Together, the lawyer and the actor recreate the events of that dark and stormy night.

Sundown Collaborative Theatre's Java Scripts features a variety of short acts ranging from the scripted and linear to the devised and abstract. This year’s festival dives into the awkwardness of our daily existence, struggles with mental illness, the magic hidden in plain sight, and the absolute absurdity of life. Each night of performances will feature a different line-up of acts.  6 nights, 18 works, 1 festival!
