To You and Back, by Gwyneth Strope (Festival Reading #1)

To You and Back
Written by Gwyneth Strope
Directed by Michael Mansfield

Cycling through the phases of you.
In this romantic dramady, Jo and Vin are caught cycling through phases of affection and communication, unsure of how to get to something new. Through banter, distance, and over-sharing, To You and Back, examines this couple as they discover someone more
interesting than their fears.

Due to Hollins Universitys Culture of Care protocols regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, all audience members will be required to show proof of full vaccination (either two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson) and at least one booster AT THE DOOR to attend a performance. Everyone is also required to wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth at all times while in the theatre.

Each summer at the end of July, we present a three-day event showcasing readings of student work from the Playwright's Lab. These readings are minimally staged for the general public and close to a dozen theatre professionals as respondents from as far away as Los Angeles and from as close as right here in Roanoke. Many of the plays that first saw public viewing at our summer reading festival have gone on to be published and produced by major companies. Get acquainted with these plays, playwrights, actors and directors before they are famous! You'll also be helping to develop these new works by engaging in the conversation with our students, faculty, and guest artists.
