SUMMARY:Playing Hamlet Roulette: EXIT Press spotlight and Mark Jackson book release party
DESCRIPTION:Join EXIT Theatre’s publishing arm EXIT Press to celebrate our eighth year\, and the recent publication of our 24th book\, Mark Jackson’s Playing Hamlet Roulette: Failure\, Expectation\, Possibility & Democracy! \nJust over two years ago\, Shotgun Players company member and EXIT Theatre alumnus\, Mark Jackson\, undertook one of the biggest challenges of his career: staging a production of Hamlet\, at the Shotgun Players’ Ashby Stage\, in which every performer drew their role from Yorick’s skull five minutes before showtime\, their lines and character for that evening’s performance determined by chance—and months of rigorous rehearsal preceding the run. At the end of 2017\, Jackson\, a four-time author with EXIT Press\, published an investigation and summary of the project\, and the themes that emerged from its creation: failure\, expectation\, possibility\, and democracy. \nWe’ll be celebrating with a reading by Jackson\, and a panel discussion/open conversation with performers from Jackson’s hit experiment\, Hamlet Roulette\, as they discuss the creative roles that failure\, expectation\, possibility\, and democracy played in relation to creating the work that brought them together\, the willingness to embrace them as part of the creative process\, and the implications of artistic risk. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, no reservations required. Jackson’s books\, and our other EXIT Press titles\, will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Almost Butterflies Reading by Sarah C. Jimenez
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a night of bringing characters to life! Sarah C. Jiménez’s young adult novel\, Almost Butterflies\, follows the lives of three teenage cousins on the precipice of adulthood when they unexpectedly find themselves pregnant. \n  \nArtist bio: Sarah C. Jiménez is a queer Latinx writer obsessed with the glory and growing pains of adolescence. Originally from Chula Vista\, San Diego’s border-town to Tijuana\, Jiménez’s work is deeply embedded with her bicultural identity\, like the accent from her pocha tongue. Jiménez received her MFA in Fiction & Creative Writing from Mills College in 2015\, and is a Lambda Literary alumna and returning writer-in-residence. She has been a featured writer at several events across the Bay Area\, and performed at countless open mics\, but credits her start with Galería de la Raza’s Lunada series. Currently\, she is a community college English instructor where her core values as a teacher and writer intersect; representation matters.\nReaders TBA.\nWe hope to see you there!\n  \nStigmatized by their family and community\, each opt for a different option—abortion\, adoption\, and motherhood—all while learning the most invaluable lesson of all: the importance of love and family. Join us for an intimate glimpse of this works-in-progress as three readers bring the characters to life with direct scenes and excerpts from the novel. This project is made possible through an Individual Artist Grant from the San Francisco Arts Commission. \nArtist bio: Sarah C.
