AMOK: A Stage Reading Marathon

When: Oct 18 12-8pm; See below for schedule
Location: Bindlestiff Studio 185 6th St. San Francisco, CA
Tickets: $5; Click here to purchase tickets.

A full day of raw, new works from emerging Filipino-American playwrights. Come for a play or stay for the day.

Amok is a word from the Malay language that has made its way into the English dictionary. It connotes frenzy, wildness, an act of savage commitment. In can also mean the focused ability to delve into a world, to connect and immerse deeply in an experience.

A play needs to be seen, heard and shared. The purpose of this production is to give space for the writer to hear their work, in collaboration with a director who will lead the actors in the exploration, interpretation, and expression of the work.

We welcome you to commit your day with us and immerse yourself fully into the varied and raw worlds spun by our emerging writers.

Bindlestiff Studio's annual Stories High is proud to announce the fourteenth edition of our workshop to stage production. This year we have been privileged to work closely with Campo Santo and Guerilla Rep artist by facilitating our workshops, as well some our own beloved Bindlestiff artist. See what we've been brewing with the playwriting, acting, directing, movement, scenic design and stage management workshops in our fall culmination show.

Our writers have bared their soul in the writers room, experienced the editing process, and are now ready to share their stories among which are: Conrad Panganiban writes "Holed up at the Delta" about two police officers investigating a mysterious case from the 1920's that take them to the deep underground of San Francisco history; waking up with amnesia, Garland tries to find his true identity in the kinkiest of all places in "Searching for Garland Jackson" a play by Paolo Salazar; "Untethered" takes us through a journey through time and space as Jude reconciles with a love lost and found, in a play by Jinky de Rivera.
