MUD AND FIRE: THE POTTERY PLAY By Lindsay Joelle

(workshopped originally at The Invisible Theatre as part of the Women’s Voices Play Reading Series in September 2025)

Rayna Zimmerman accepts a pottery apprenticeship at Sam Ortega’s studio in Tucson, AZ, hoping to learn from a master. 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 help launch her career, the desert has other lessons for her about climate, borders, community, and what it means to be forged through fire.
