Silent House Theatre Company begins a two-week run of I and You, a contemporary drama by playwright Lauren Gunderson. The two-person drama follows Anthony and Caroline, high school students working on a poetry project together, but ultimately comments on the connections we make in a world prone to isolation.
On Sunday evening, buying dinner at Chipotle Mexican Grill on Valley Mills helps raise funds for the Imagination Library of Waco. This initiative, originally founded in Tennesee by Dolly Parton, provides a free book every month to local kids through the age of five. And on Tuesday night, Wild Imagining’s Waco Contemporary Play Series continues with a staged reading of Gruesome Playground Injuries at Rogue Media Network.
