Susie mcgarry: interview for columbus underground12/11/2020 We had to edit Susie's answers to fit the CU guidelines, so here is her full interview! You ran a theatre before coming to MadLab. Tell us about that. During our last year of college, my great friend “John John” (John Galbraith) and I learned The Freshman Show was discontinued due to budget restraints. This show was an annual tradition at Baldwin-Wallace College. My involvement as a frosh had a deep impact on showing me the importance of theater. So with $20, ingenuity, and the code to the copy machine, we produced and directed a successful short play festival including original work and all first year (and in some cases, first time) actors and stage crew. Soon after, we noticed three local theaters were all producing the same popular show, at the same time. A show that has been produced thousands of times before. Feeling a bit haughty from our short play fest triumph, John John and I started producing original shows under the name Wayward Theatre Company. Our goal was to showcase unpublished, unconventional plays. Every show was a world premiere. In every facet, participants were chosen for their attitude over all else. No experience necessary! It created a welcoming, safe environment for self-expression. Wayward kept gaining momentum, especially after moving to New Orleans where our business model attracted some significant donors. Our most ambitious production to date was planned for late 2005. Hurricane Katrina happened in August. John John and I swam out of our home and yada yada yada about a week later managed to rent a car and drove north. Wayward ceased operations. John John and I are still great friends. He’s now a happily married, bass playing, wine making father of one human and three dogs in the Atlanta area.
You had an artists space in Franklinton. Tell us about that. My “super awesome special friend” (now spouse) Eric Shook introduced me to the Franklinton arts scene. Eric is a metal artist and when we met, he had a studio at 400 W. Rich. Because of him, I started going to Franklinton Fridays open studios and other events at 400, The Vanderelli Room, The Idea Foundry, and Rehab. I love the energy and sense of community so I rented a studio at 400 for a while. That space was even used for some Theater Roulette and OGP rehearsals. Eric is currently one of the artists at the Central Ohio School of Metalworking (COSOM) and an Idea Foundry member. I’m back to being a Franklinton tourist and have a small home studio in Clintonville. You lead meditation sessions. How did you get into that My initiation to meditation was through hypnosis. Hypnosis is a type of deep meditation and my guided meditations include hypnosis techniques. I’ve kept up independent study of mechanics of the mind for a decade. It’s fascinating what our brains are capable of. Attending local shows and having the studio space at 400 W. Rich helped me get to know some local artists, including Alicia Jean (AJ) Vanderelli. Her gallery, The Vanderelli Room, hosted live events in addition to exhibitions with an emphasis on community. Through her kindness and generosity, I was able to use the space for donation based guided meditations for the general public. Before the recent state-of-affairs, I was working with Witchlab leading group and individual meditations. Since being at home, I’ve started a YouTube channel for meditations (Meditations with Susie) and continued with one-on-one hypnosis.

You may submit multiple scripts. If you are submitting multiple scripts, please include them all in a single email.

MadLab will also be accepting full collections of shorts. This would be a group of plays that are meant to be performed together and would constitute a complete night of plays.
You may submit multiple scripts.
Script submissions WILL NOT be returned to the applicant; MadLab will destroy all evidence of your creative instincts upon a funeral pyre at an undisclosed location in order to protect both the innocent and the guilty.
