Marin Theatre Company’s Nu Werkz Series Presents Sky Cooper Prize Winner Magic Forest Farm By Zayd Dohrn May 19, 2008

In its next Nu Werkz staged reading series, Marin Theatre Company presents the Sky Cooper New American Prize winner Magic Forest Farm by playwright Zayd Dohrn. This reading will give patrons a sneak preview of this play which will have its world premiere next spring at MTC. From one of America’s hottest young playwrights, Magic Forest Farm is a riveting story of a young woman’s desperate search for her past. Seventeen year-old Allegra is beginning to piece together memories of her early years in the Northern Californian woods on a mystical commune. Mixing with joyous recollections are darker revelations, startling images of the people she thinks she trusts most. A journey begins that will take Allegra back to the commune, back to the past, to confront the truth. The play will be directed by MTC Managing Director Ryan Rilette.
