The Broke Thespians Theatre Company will present a staged reading of “Acanthus“ as part of the company’s New Works Series on Dec. 9 at the San Marcos Public Library.
BTTC will conduct a dramatized reading of local playwright Jordan Morille’s newest work. Afterward, audience members will be invited to engage in the creative process with a question-and-answer session with the playwright and creative team.
“Acanthus” by Jordan Morille tells the story of Morgan, a saloon owner in 1887 Texas who faces a challenge when a widowed rancher named Temperance storms in seeking retribution for her slain rooster, Acanthus, at the hands of the local head groom, Holt. Morgan strives to maintain order amid chaos, drawing a variety of characters into the conflict, which leads to unforeseen consequences.
