Alabaster by Audrey Cefaly
About
Carolina Actors Studio Theatre (CAST), in association with Actors Collaborative Theatre (ACT) is pleased to announce our 2025 production, “ALABASTER,” , by Audrey Cefaly. ALABASTER is a Pulitzer-nominated, Kilroys-listed, all-female darkly comic Southern drama and winner of the Calicchio Prize. After a tornado barrels through town leaving nothing but death and destruction, only June and her pet goat Weezy and Weezy’s dying mother Bib, live to tell the tale. When a prominent photographer visits to take pictures of June's scars, both are forced to reconcile the pain of loss and recovery. ALABASTER explores the meaning and purpose of art and the struggle of the lost and tortured souls that seek to create it.
