BareBones of 21ten
Good actors, good stories, told simply.
Our mission is to bring professional theater to those with limited or no access to live theater. We have five spheres of folks that we are specifically aiming to serve at this time: elders, houseless, detained, community spaces, and rural zones/ "art deserts"

BareBones of 21ten Available Plays:
Adopt a Sailor
By Charles Evered
When a sophisticated New York City couple adopt a young sailor from Arkansas for a day during fleet week, their heartfelt values collide and reveal just how much we truly have in common.
With Jeb Berrier, Brook Hogan, and Rocco Weyer.
52 Pick-Up
By TJ Dawe and Rita Bozi
A deck of cards is tossed into the air, each one inscribed with the title of a scene. Wherever they land determines how the story unfolds. 52 Pick-Up tells the messy, passionate story of a relationship—all shuffled up in a randomized order. A rollercoaster romance that changes with every performance, it is a unique theatrical experience you don’t want to miss.
With Annie Trevisan and Ben Lawrence
Here We Are Again Still
By Christian O’Reilly
A lonely Irish widower spends all his nights sitting by himself on a bench outside his housing complex. As his stubborn neighbor repeatedly urges him to get inside for a change, and a down-on-his-luck young newcomer decides to start frequenting the very same bench, the three lost souls find themselves forging an unexpected connection. Here We Are Again Still is a funny, heartfelt ode to community, finding your purpose, and the beauty of the unknown.
With Ted Rooney, Carla Grant, and Ben Lawrence
Dorothy's Dictionary
By EM Lewis
Sparks fly when Zan, an angry high school student, is forced to work off his community service assignment helping Dorothy, an ailing librarian. But each of them might just have what the other needs... if they can only find the words.
With Kerie Darner and AC Campbell
