Undermain Theatre presents Whither Goest Thou America, its fourth series of readings of new American plays examining the American Landscape.
The Festival will feature readings by local playwrights, Parker Davis Gray, Erin Malone Turner, and Zander Pryor, along with Native American performance artist and activist Gregg Deal. Mr. Deal is the second recipient of The Katherine Owens/Undermain Theatre Fund for New Work and will close out the festival with his solo performance piece, The Punk Pan Indian Romantic Comedy. A selection of Mr. Deal’s paintings and other work will be on display in our lobby as well.
Each week will present a new reading or performance, starting March 5th and running through March 27, 2021. The audience will get access to the writers in post-show discussions. Donors will enjoy exclusive benefits centered around the artists and readings.
Past festivals have brought the work of local writers Jonathan Norton and Blake Hackler and other American playwrights such as David Rabe, Adrienne Kennedy, Barbara Hammond, Gordon Dahlquist, and Len Jenkin.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge the land beneath our feet as the ancestral home of many Indigenous Peoples, including the Caddo, Wichita, Tawakoni, and Kiikaapoi, as well as the tribes that may have lived here and roamed the area—including Comanche, Kiowa, and Apache—and those Indigenous people whose names we don’t know anymore. We honor, revere, and respect those who were stewards of this land long before we made it our home.

The Katherine Owens / Undermain Fund for New Work, managed by Undermain Theatre, provides long-term support to the generation and development of new work in Dallas. Established by gifts made in remembrance of our beloved Founding Artistic Director Katherine Owens, the Fund continues Undermain’s ongoing commitment to new work—a pillar of Undermain’s 38 years. In each of its first two years, a commission has been granted to an artist to create new work for the Undermain stage.
We thank the donors below for their generous donations to the Katherine Owens / Undermain Fund for New Work and for their belief in the power of new theater created in Dallas.
