Upcoming: Common Ground by Antoinette Winstead, Proarts Collective at Vance Boyd Theatre, April 2 - 5

Information found on-line:

ProArts Collective will perform Common Ground by San Antonio playwright Antoinette F. Winstead at the Boyd Vance Theatre, April 2-5.


In a recent on-line article on San Antonio theatre, Winstead described the work: "Set in South Central Texas in 1968, Common Ground is a family saga about a man so set on revenge that he is willing to destroy his entire family to achieve it."

The play is about an African American ranching family, and delves into the fraught relationship between a former bronco rider and his younger brother.

NowPlayingAustin.com notes, "
ProArts Collective first presented a stage reading of Common Ground as a part of the 2007 BAM Festival. Lisa Byrd, Executive Director, said, 'The response was so positive that we decided to fully produce the play as a world premiere.'"

The following profile of Winstead was published in connection with the The 14th Annual Last Frontier Theatre Conference, held in Alaska in June, 2006:
