Threshold: Testing by Mary Lynn Owen -- Virtual Reading
-- virtual reading zoom link will be emailed to all participants 1 hour before the reading--

A year after Father's death, Mother sends an urgent email to her adult children, summoning them home to collect their things. In a room cluttered with family relics - clothes, photos, forgotten toys - Mother, Sister, Brother, and Grandpa, an interracial family, collide with the past and present, face the truth of each other's lives, and choose what to keep and what to throw away.

Mary Lynn grew up ‘una mezcla' - a mixture - of Cuban-Americans and South Georgians, preachers and misfits. In her work, she seeks the mezcla - the moments where farce and tragedy meet, where the sacred graces the profane, and where mundanity is filled with longing. She believes that the mezcla is a moment of possibility - for hope, and other new things.
Mary Lynn is an Atlanta-based theater artist with a career spanning over forty years as an actor, teacher, and most recently, a playwright. Her solo play, KNEAD, in which she also performed, baking 4 loaves of bread onstage during every performance, received its world premiere at The Alliance Theatre in November 2018.
