You Got Older    by Clare Barron

Wednesday, February 20, 2018 @ 7pm
a cold-reading salon at
The Bookstore
118 Main Street, Chico
 Everyone is welcome to read. If you’d like a pdf shared by Google Drive, let us know.
If you want to listen, we welcome that, too.
Seven parts this time: 3 women, 4 men

Notes from Samuel French:
Mae returns home to help take care of Dad and – maybe (a little) – herself. You Got Older is a tender and darkly comic new play about family, illness, and cowboys – and how to remain standing when everything you know comes crashing down around you.

Slow Theatre presents Chico Speaks: Free Speech
Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at 7PM - 9PM
1078 Gallery - 1710 Park Ave, Chico CA 95928


Free speech is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and is a concept many Americans hold dear. Yet, this right faces new challenges in modern society from all sides. On many college campuses, left-wing groups are protesting, heckling, or otherwise driving away conservative speakers. Meanwhile, politicians in the highest offices of government use their power to undermine or suppress speech they consider controversial. What is happening to the idea of tolerance and respect for diverging views? What is the role of free speech on campus? In the media? In government? What can we do to protect this bedrock virtue of American society?

Speakers: Mark Herrera, Sue Hilderbrand, Rich Ober, Robert Speer, Peter Washington, Student Representative for a Quality Education (Chico State)
Free & open to the public. Donations for non-profit Slow Theatre & non-profit 1078 Gallery gladly accepted.

The cast of teenagers includes Cara Agnew, Patrice Berry, Devyn Cusick, Sierra Hall, Emily Hyder, Zoe Karch, Sydnee Kenny, Mia Naron, and Ilani Welsh-Johnson. With Sharon DeMeyer. Directed by Kelly T. Candelaria. Soccer coach: Hayes Tellesen. Graphics and house manager: Eric Collins. Stage manager: Hope Kozielski.
