Drunken Owl Theatre

A message from the Artistic Director:

As I complete another circuit around the sun, I count my blessings. I have family, friends, relative health, and the opportunity to create. it takes a veritable village to produce our variety show, and I am grateful for the talent and time given by each participant listed in this program. I am equally grateful for each audience member, sponsor, or board member who supports our work. Thank you, and enjoy the show.

Kevin Finney

Artistic Director

Warning: There are staged gunshots in our production.

“Justice, Adapted” by Anna Tatelman

“Justice, Adapted,” is very loosely inspired by the true history of the first female police officers in the midwest. In the early ‘60s and before, some citizens did not believe women could serve on the force effectively. In this play, our heroine Colleen Hewitt goes to court against her city for the chance to live out her dream as a police woman.

Poetry by Judith Camann

“Killeen” by John C. Davenport

A bar. A man. A woman. Have they met before? And if so, what really happened?

Woman – Christina Williams

Man – Kevin Finney

“End of Life”by Vincent Kovar”

A dying metaverse, four hundred thousand uploaded humans, and a trial by an AI tribunal that tries to answer: what is life? A dark comedy about who gets to decide.
