Cypherbird Projects presents a staged reading of Stealing Starlight, a fantastical new play by local playwright Lisa Wagner Erickson, at 6 p.m. on Sunday, September 29, 2024, at the Trident Cafe in Boulder. The night will kick off with a lively and fanciful performance by drag artist Weird Alnite, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. Name your price tickets are available at cypherbird.org.
Developed with the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company Writer’s Group, Stealing Starlight is a fractured fairytale about a perilous escape from a gnome kingdom under a storm drain.
The play follows Burd, a gnome who is banished for snatching plastic jewels from the tyrannical King Gob (pronounced “Bob” with a G).
In a desperate bid to reclaim her shiny treasures, Burd recruits a frazzled librarian and two interns to help her steal all of King’s plastic jewels and his bedazzled sword and throne. Will she succeed or turn to ceramic, trapped in darkness and forever alone?
Directed by Candace Joice, the staged reading will feature the talents of Shauna Earp-Ballinger, Lauren Michelle Long, JC Maheu, Veronica Straight-Lingo, and Sadie Gracelynn Trigg.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. The show starts promptly at 6 p.m.
940 Pearl St., Boulder.
