StageWorthy Productions is back! SWP is bringing the Indiana premiere of the award-winning play, MYNX AND SAVAGE by Rebecca Gorman O'Neill, to their home at The Stage Door Theatre at Irvington!. Director John Kastner is excited to bring this thought-provoking story of moving forward to the Indy Theater Community.

Getting lost in a story is a dangerous temptation. Adam is a comic book writer coasting on his past successes in the glossy pages of Mynx and Savage. Much to his chagrin, his employer has assigned him a partner, Ket, to ensure he makes his next deadline. Ket is young and ambitious; her life was changed by Adam’s first serious graphic novel, and she aches to know what new, “important” work Adam is working on. As the duo sets to work on the 100th issue of Mynx and Savage, the fantasy bleeds into reality as the superheroes and their mild-mannered alter egos invade the artists’ space. Adam finally starts to trust Ket and shares the story he’s been hiding. It is the story of Jill and Kyle, two childhood friends on summer break who dream of superheroes. Where Kyle is frightened, Jill is brave; where Kyle is secretive, Jill insists on honesty. This is the story that tortures Adam, the story he’s been hiding from the world; it’s the origin story of Mynx and Savage. In the end, as the worlds of the children, the superheroes and the artists collide, Ket helps Adam realize that he has no future until he makes amends with his past. The play features a talented quartet of SWP newcomers: Josh Cornell, Kayla Cange, Emma Howell and Tanner Brunson.

Performance dates are June 23rd, 24th, & 30th and July 1st at 8 p.m. and June 25th & July 2nd at 2:30 p.m.

The theatre is located at 5635 Bonna Ave., Indianapolis, 46219.

All tickets are $15.00 (cash or check only please) Call 317-750-6454 for reservations and seating information. Seating is limited. Reservations are preferred.

As you may have heard, in December 2017, a few days before Christmas, a fire broke out at our old venue at the Broadway United Methodist Church. While the majority of the church suffered smoke and and water damage, the Community Room where we hold our performances was completely destroyed. All of our production materials (wall pieces, tools, props, platforms, costumes, etc) were deemed a total loss. All was either burned, melted or infused with water and toxic soot.

While we have been promised a home to come back to by the building manager, renovations will take time. We have been told to scrap plans for all of 2018 and look to begin our second decade (our eleventh season) in 2019. That being said, a gofundme page has been set up to help us in our rebuilding efforts. We lost even the most basic of supplies and even though we keep our production costs as low as possible by recycling and creatively refurbishing, we are still in need of help to more or less "start again".

You can read the full play by play at the gofundme site ( https://www.gofundme.com/stageworthy-fire-recovery-fund ). If you are unable to help, we would ask if you could to please at least post this to your various social media accounts to help spread the word of our need. For anyone interested in learning more about SWP, you may direct them to our official website, www.stageworthy.org , for past productions, photos, etc. All donors will be thanked in a special section of all future StageWorthy programs.

Thank you so very much for an incredible fifteen years of support. We hope to see you as we begin our next decade of fresh, thought-provoking theatre.

Sincerely,

John Kastner
