CALENDAR Theater students from Springfield’s Academy of Arts & Academics (A3) high school will premiere A Very Incomplete History of the Blue Planet, an all-original work created by playwright Mallery Avidon and the students themselves. “Working on a play that is still being written means that, as the playwright heard the actors working, it inspired re-writes and refinement,” says director Andrew Hock, an A3 instructor. “We all had to learn to embrace the changes that each new draft brought and learn to enjoy watching the play evolve.” Hock notes that while the play uses several devices that a well-versed theater audience may recognize, there are several elements that make it totally unique. One example is the play’s focus on positive teenage queer relationships. “So often, the queer youth experience is only depicted as a mine field of harassment, self loathing and rejection,” Hock says. “In our play we see queer teens in relationships that are empowering and positive.” Performances of A Very Incomplete History of the Blue Planet are at 7:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Feb. 3-5, at the Wildish Theater in Springfield; $5-$7, tickets avail- able at the door. — Rachael Carnes Lunchtime Tap & Growler Running Group continues.
