<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">“Natural Shocks” is a new, unpublished play by Lauren Gunderson, who was named America’s most produced playwright by American Theatre magazine in 2018. Based on Hamlet’s “to be
or not to be” </span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#545454;background:white">soliloquy,</span><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"> “Natural Shocks” is part confessional, part stand up and part reckoning as the main
character waits in her basement for the arrival of an imminent tornado. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">Quinnett describes the play as “witty and gorgeous and heartbreaking. The script is so authentic and comical and then it makes this turn with new revelations,” Quinnett said. “It’s
really about secrets and the consequences of secrets.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">Directing the reading is Shea King, a Master of Fine Arts candidate in the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences who works with Quinnett as a graduate teaching assistant.
King directed her in the staged reading of “To Tokyo and the Moon” by Steve Yockey at the Region 7 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Spokane in February.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
