November 24 - December 14, 2022
Thanksgiving week is always a welcome break in an extremely busy fall. The newsletter is short this week as theatres in the valley take a pause before continuing on building their winter and spring productions. There are still a few things going on if you are craving a chance to see a show: check out the list below. And I hope you can come to the Play Incubation Collective's presentation of Return to Abya Yala by Aria Acevedo - the script has been in development since this March and we're thrilled to have a first draft to share with a kind audience.
In the meantime, for some theatrical reading about thigns further afield, the StageStruck column this week features performances in London! We can all dream about places we might go next, right?
The next issue will include events from December 1- December 21. Submit upcoming events via the link below or by emailing me before Tuesday at midnight. Any questions, comments or feedback? Email me at pioneervalleytheatre@gmail.com

The Wildcard Workbook: Why Forum Theatre and Why Now?
by Katy Rubin, Sulu LeoNimm, Liz Morgan
From the article:
Theatre of the Oppressed NYC (TONYC), a grassroots arts and social justice organization, recently published an illustrated workbook to guide artists, activists, educators, and facilitators through forum theatre and other creative community-led change processes. The Wildcard Workbook: A Practical Guide for Jokering Forum Theatre poses questions towards an ethical, joyful, and radical practice of Theatre of the Oppressed. Available for anyone to download for free or by donation, this book can accompany other Theatre of the Oppressed training or stand alone as a resource for anyone leading a group through a devised theatre process. It can also guide facilitators leading embodied diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and anti-racism trainings or moderating complex dialogue in any public event.

Up: One Man's Journey to Feminism - An Autobiographical Play in Support of Gender Equality
Sunday Nov. 27, 2:45pm
Happier Valley Comedy, 1 Mill Valley Rd, Hadley, MA.
What does it take for a man to become a feminist—and why does it matter? In seven diverse and poignant vignettes from his own life, Peter Pruyn (“prine”), a trauma therapist who works with female survivors, takes us on his journey, including the experiences of attending an all-boys primary school, being the only man in a Women’s Studies class, flying as a pilot in Alaska, interviewing at the trauma unit of a psych hospital, and working in a methadone clinic—culminating in a personal reflection on male privilege as a fundamental barrier to social change. Along the way, Peter accompanies himself with improvised piano. Each performance is followed by a period of audience reflections.
A portion of proceeds will be donated to I Have The Right To, a non-profit organization that supports assault survivors and their families.
