Ray, a young apprentice, accepts a residency at Sam Ortega’s studio in Tucson, AZ hoping to learn from a master potter. But her ambition and impulsive energy clash with the quiet life of privacy and discipline he’s cultivated after the burnout of unwelcome fame. As Ray tries to coax Sam to teach her his life-hacks, the desert has other lessons for her about climate, borders, and what it means to be forged through fire.  This timely play features Bryan Falcon, former Artistic Director of SCOUNDREL AND SCAMP, Molly McKasson, Hannah Turner, Myani Watson and Lucas Gonzales.  Directed by Managing Artistic Director, Betsy Kruse Craig, assisted by Emily Fuchs.
