As part of Trailblazing 2025, Dogteam presents a benefit reading of a new play by alum Sally Seitz.

Emily, Elena, and Becca, are three friends in their late twenties who meet every Friday night on a back porch in Austin, TX to drown beers and avoid growing up. Yet their weekly ritual is jeopardized by a lurking, particularly vocal Barn owl, who calls into question the stability of their chosen family. This play exists in that special time at night where reality brushes with myth, magic, fable, and faith. 

Translated & Directed by Gerard Watkins

As part of Trailblazing 2025, Dogteam presents a benefit reading of a new play by current student Emma Dobson.

It’s 1924, and under the steaming Southern sun, secrets simmer. A husband vanishes, and five women must decide what silence truly costs. Gritty, lyrical, and unflinching, The Standard unearths buried truths of love, rage, and survival in a world that expects women to endure.
