Clayton State Theatre
Fresh off directing the Clayton State
Theatre’s fall 2012 production of
“Macbeth,” Patricia Henritze, Clayton
State assistant professor of Theater, will
be part of a much different theatrical work
on Monday, Dec. 3. Moving from “the
bard” to “the blind,” Henritze is taking
part in the 10th anniversary celebration of
Atlanta’s premiere playwriting organiza-
tion, Working Title (http://www.work-
ingtitleblog.com/). It’s a chain play,
wherein 10 local playwrights were invited
to write “blind” scenes for a play. “Each
playwright wrote one scene in the play;
never knowing who the other writers
were,” explains Henritze. “It’s a fun exer-
cise.” “The WTP Chain Play” will be per-
formed as a staged reading at the
Academy Theater, 119 Center St., in
Avondale Estates, Ga., on Monday, Dec. 3
at 7:30 p.m. Admission is on a “pay what
you can” basis, from $5 to $25.
