Dry Land

Studio 101
1824 Spring Street Houston

Emerging as the Lena Dunham of the theater world, 21-year-old playwright Ruby Rae Spiegel -- a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize -- writes a brazen, no-holds-barred play about that time in your life when no one else can possibly understand what you're going through. A story about abortion, bad jokes, bathing suits and friendship, Dry Land -- a New York Times critics' pick -- is a brave portrayal of the contemporary American teenager that epitomizes what's next in American theater. Mildred's Umbrella Theater Company performs this riveting story of teenage girls entering adulthood at Houston's Studio 101.
