Blurb from website:

Every year, terraNOVA Collective presents the Groundworks New Play Series, staged readings of work developed through our Groundbreakers Playwrights Group.

The purpose of the New Play Series is to give playwrights an opportunity to have their work seen and heard by a larger audience. Each playwright works with a director and actors over a short rehearsal period to give further life to their work.

Go see it!  Here is more info:

HOW TO EAT AN OREO Written by CHANEL E. GLOVER Directed by JENNA WORSHAM Featuring KRISTIN CANTWELL, RACHEL CHRISTOPHER and ALEXANDER LAMBIE

In How to Eat an Oreo, two teen summer camps sit a stone’s throw away from one another. Fatima has fled the gay-to-straight conversion center, and is hiding out in Gideon’s room at weight loss camp. While Fatima awaits the sunset to make her official escape to Wal-Mart, she and Gideon navigate around one another, sometimes crashing into each other, as they both confront the ‘cruelties’ of how they believe the universe made them.

More about Chanel:

CHANEL GLOVER is a ‘trained’ lawyer who dabbles in playwriting, and desires most to be the first Black (Lesbian) Superwoman to rid the world of menacing stereotypes with just the stroke of her pencil. In May 2014, she completed an MFA in playwriting at Ohio University where her full-length plays How to Eat an Oreo, Black as the Dirt and They’re Not Rappers have received staged readings at Ohio University’s Seabury Quinn, Jr. Playwrights’ Festival in April 2014, April 2013 and June 2012, respectively. She can be found everywhere, as she is a superwoman in training, remember? And raised American nomadic.
