We’ve all felt like an outsider at one time or another. Society’s squabbles, class warfare, and the continuing conflict between the haves and have-nots make alienation practically an epidemic. And if you can’t — or won’t — conform, your only other option is to follow your own muse.
But even those who color outside the lines still need someone to relate to. So here’s an option: a series of short plays with a common theme about living life on your own terms. Presented by the Krane, a Miami-based multidisciplinary arts company, Outside explores five real-life individuals who refuse to fit the norm. Some provide perilous encounters — stories about addiction and the physical extremes one can go to in an attempt to escape society’s parameters — but all attempt to offer explanations for why society forces some to live on life’s margins.
Written by Ann Gillespie, Juan Sanchez, Vanessa Garcia, Ozzie Rodriguez, and Nick Mwaluko, Outside will be performed as part of the South Florida Theatre League’s Summer Theatre Fest Reading Series at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Books & Books (265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables).
Tue., June 24, 8 p.m., 2014
