THE WAITRESS PLAY
by Heather Jones
American Stage After Hours Series Performances: Saturday, March 13 at 6pm and 8:30pm Sunday, March 14 at 6pm "Pay What You Can" night of performances The Waitress Play follows a waitress on the day she might disappear. As she contends with the attitudes and assumptions of her customers, the waitress must decide whether to continue to struggle for visibility or to allow herself to fade away. Please join the Blue Scarf Collective for the area premiere of this poignant and humorous piece. The Blue Scarf Collective is composed of local theatre artists Roxanne Fay, Aleshea Harris and Heather Jones. Their aim is to facilitate excellence in playwriting through development and production of their own theatrical works and to nurture the talents of local theatre artists while insisting upon diversity and reciprocal enrichment for both audiences and stage artists. Heather L. Jones has had work produced by American Theatre of Actors in New York, and by Green Light Theatrical Productions in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where her play, Last Rites, was one of six selections for the first presentation of GLO, their annual festival of one-acts by women. Green Light also presented Last Rites at a women's festival for Haverford College. Black Swan Theatre in Asheville, North Carolina presented a staged reading of her play, The Waitress Play, in 2008. In 2009 she received a Regional Artists Project Grant from the Asheville Area Arts Council and the North Carolina Arts Council to develop her play Every Creature's Shadow through a script-in-hand production. Heather has directed her own work at the BeBe Theatre in Asheville, North Carolina and at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. She has also acted as dramaturg for Immediate Theatre Project, Asheville. Heather holds an MFA in Writing with a concentration in Playwriting from Spalding University, where she was mentored by Sheila Callaghan, Eric Schmiedl, and Charles Schulman. Heather lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, and teaches in the first year writing program at the University of Tampa.
