The Eyes of Texas
The Eyes of Texas premiered as part of a festival of short plays at The Vino Theater in East Williamsburg on May 8 and 13, 2024. What began as a two-person project fictionally representing Bryce's relationship with their sister evolved into a solo storytelling project--a love poem, you could say--dedicated to her.
Excerpt:
"I think I thought by re-establishing stasis in the arc of the story
I could create a clearing where fake sister and fake me
would have the conversation I'd like to imagine
real sister and real me could have.
They could talk about how scary it can be to be seen.
They could compare and contrast their practices of care, and courage.
They could share some ways they could help each other.
And as I thought about the shape that conversation should take
It became clear to me:
I don't think I need to write a play right now...
I could...
But I think I need to call my sister more, first."
