About the Play
Jon, an aspiring filmmaker on the verge of hitting it big, reconnects for the weekend with his best friend from high school, Vince, a volunteer fireman who makes his money selling dope. Jon’s new film is being shown at a festival in Lansing, Michigan, and Vince has come from Oakland to see it. Over the course of the evening, Vince finally gets Jon to admit that ten years ago he date-raped Amy Randall, a girl whom they both dated in high school—only then to reveal that he’s taped their entire conversation. And not only that, he’s invited Amy to have dinner with them that night. Beneath its suspenseful, high-stakes surface, TAPE examines questions of motive, memory, truth and perception.

9/6 BOOK STUDY: FINDING WATER BY JULIA CAMERON
This fall we are delving into FINDING WATER by Julia Cameron. In this inspiring twelve-week program, Cameron offers guidance on weathering the periods in an artist’s life when inspiration has run dry. This book provides wisdom and tools for tackling some of the greatest challenges that artists face such as:
Making the decision to begin a new project
Persevering when a new approach to your art does not bear immediate fruit
Staying focused when other parts of your life threaten to distract you form your art
Finding possibilities for artistic inspiration in the most unlikely places
The study will meet at Epiphany Space on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 pm from September 6th through November 29th.
Advanced registration required. Course fee is $60 per person. All book study members must have previously read THE ARTIST’S WAY by Julia Cameron.
Book is available at Amazon.
