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
