Keely & DuKeely & Du About The Playwright
Written By: Jane Martin Jane Martin is a reclusive American playwright who has yet to make a public appearance. Nothing about her life is known beyond the supposition that she was born in Kentucky. Because of her close relationship with ATL, the Actors Theatre of Louisville (she is an often-produced playwright of the famed Humana Festival, with ten full-length plays performed there between 1982 and 2001), many have concluded that Jane Martin is actually the pseudonym of Jon Jory, formerly the artistic director of ATL. Jory, a professor of drama at the University of Washington in Seattle.

About the Show: 
Du, a right to life activist, and Keely, a pregnant rape victim she is confining, transcend their circumstances and the ideological issues that separate them. Keely and Du is a mind probing issue play with a gripping human face. Who is accountable? What is the extent of individual freedom? What are a rape victim’s rights? What are a Christian’s realities of procreation? Their passionate stories exist on the extreme edge of everyday reality."Compelling.... Bound to stir vigorous discussion." - N.Y. Times.
"Brings a bit of light as well as heat to an already red hot topic."  - LA Times

 To stay fresh, current and exciting we are introducing, "Theatre in the Raw", an escape from what some may call traditional theatre. "Theatre in the Raw" is being developed as a way to expose our audiences to the many wonderfully diverse, controversial, dark, funny, witty and different types of plays and or musicals that you might see in larger cities. These shows are not meant for everyone but they might be meant for you. This is theatre without all the bells and whistles. Here a director will take the script with an ensemble of actors and really work on presenting the play. No fancy lights or sets just a quality show and it's your opportunity to talk back to us. After each performance join us for an informal discussion about the play with the actors and director and give us feedback on what you thought and where we might go in the future.
