The word “weed” tends to have a bad connotation — for gardeners, that is. But according to master gardener Nancy Jager, weeds that sprout in people’s gardens are actually just wild plants. She will lead a gardening workshop called “Wild on Weeds” at 4:15 p.m. today in the Roger Tory Peterson Nature Classroom, where she will provide interesting tidbits on wild plants.
Molly Smith Metzler has a title page for her 2013–14 Chautauqua Play Commission, but she does not have a title.
Nikole Beckwith decided to write the play she would most want to be in, so she concocted her first work, Everything is Ours, a surreal yet startlingly realistic comedy.
“It was a lot of things that I was thinking about at the time — the relationship of being a woman and how defined that is or is not by having children. Nature v. nurture,” Beckwith said.
Her play is the first Signature Staged Reading at the New Play Workshop put together by Chautauqua Theater Company this season. Everything is Ours opens tonight at 8 p.m. and runs through July 14 at Bratton Theater. The Brown Bag discussing the play is at 12:15 p.m. today in Bratton Theater featuring the playwright, director and cast.
