"Connect: Four Short Plays" by Austin playwright Allan Baker. These plays focus on the need to connect: across the generations in a family, at the most critical point in a relationship, at the most important moment in your life...or online on Saturday night! The program includes "Five Minutes", Allan's powerful 2006 FronteraFest "Best of the Fest" selection which has since been produced several times Off Off-Broadway. Benefiting AIDS Services of Austin, OutYouth Austin and the Equality Texas Foundation.

      These four short plays, all "connected" by the theme of connections, make for a remarkable night of theatre. Each play is a stand alone story, showing the many ways people connect. I loved all of them, but felt especially connected to "Voices", the story that takes place in a small Texas cemetary as the residents welcome a new member and share their stories with each other and with the audience. I felt completely drawn in to the stories of their lives. And be prepared with a box of kleenex for the stories in "Five Minutes." The actors in all the plays were great, but I have to give special recognition to Gina Houston and Feliz Dia McDonald in "Five Minutes," to the cast of "Voices" and to the amazing Jude Hickey. And of course to the playwright who brought these stories to life, Allan Baker. This is a theatre event you don't want to miss. Collapse
