Here's what Fort Point Theatre Channel has presented since our formation in 2007:
On July 25, 2007, at Studio Soto in Fort Point, we hosted a reading of new works by writers living in, working in, or friends of Fort Point. The room was packed, the temperature high, and the creativity shining. Fiction by: Michele Corkery, Silvia Graziano, Amy Grunder; Poetry by: Cynthia Bargar, Kurt Cole Eidsvig (who has posted videos of the event on his blog); Plays and Scenes by: Robert Boulrice, Mary Driscoll, Silvia Graziano, LaVerne Halfkenny, Karen Karin Rosenberg
The inaugural production of Fort Point Theatre Company, 4:48 Psychosis takes its title from the time most suicides take place--and the only time the playwright found herself waking up and imagining 72 minutes of clarity. This haunting play was performed after Kane's death, premiering at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2000.
"Expressionistic though it is, 4:48 Psychosis doesn't deal in abstracts; this is death, pain, suffering and rage you can all but taste. You're brave if you see this show; and Fort Point Theatre Channel is all the braver for presenting it." --Weekly Dig

365 Days/365 Plays
October 21, 2007
On November 13, 2002, Pulitzer-prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks got an idea to write a play a day for a year. She began that very day, finishing one year later. The resulting play cycle, called 365 Days/365 Plays, is a daily meditation on an artistic life. Some plays are very short, less than a page. Others last forever. We presented Week 49 during Fort Point Open Studios, at locations throughout the neighborhood.
The 365 National Festival
Hundreds of theaters have joined a grassroots premiere of the plays in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Colorado, Greater Texas, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New York, Northeast, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Southeast, Universities (365U), Washington DC Area and Western US. For information go to: 365days365plays.com. Produced by Bonnie Metzgar and Suzan-Lori Parks.
