Plato's Apology! A Great Debate by Bruce Seaman & Lee Tilson

Unboxed Productions is proud to announce we are going forward with our FIFTH season of original online streaming live theater produced on ZOOM! Our first fall production is Plato's Apology With Apologies to Plato, update by Bruce Seaman, author of To Succeed Where Others Failed: The Marshall Plantation Raid and Lee Tilson. DATES ARE: October 10th, Thursday at 2pm EASTERN, October 12th Sat at 4pm EASTERN and October 13th at 4pm EASTERN. A 6 member cast will take you through the last hours of Socrates life and his last great debate over the principles of free speech. Directed by Kim Sandstrom, Plato's Apology runs about 75 minutes. A suggested donation of $15, through our gofundme portal, will generate a heartfelt thank you and an email with the link to our show. Audience is invited to the after-show talk back with Bruce and Lee and cast. Your email also comes with instructions on how to view our show.

BUT first! Join us on Sunday, September 29th at 4pm EASTERN time (please adjust to your time zone) to watch our original signature production, Unboxing in Biloxi. Cast, author and director will watch the videoed/edited filmed version of our live show produced in Oct. 2022. Unboxing is a comedy set in an important election season in 2018 and it's very funny...until it isn't funny anymore! Follow Karen's version journey and what she is led to do. A donation of ANY amount, $1 and up will generate a link for this annual UP event.

AND THEN!! November 1, 2nd and 3rd, talented Unboxer Marty Van Kleeck will be portraying Molly Ivins, mere days before our country's election. Suggested donation through our gofundme portal is $15.

Look for Bill, Bob, Lois & Friends: First Steps First Voices will be announcing the filmed/edited version of our successful live online production dedicated to the work of recovery.

January 2025 brings us to our annual variety show fundraiser, Celebrate UP! Our theme this year is: The Gift of Entertainment!! If you have an "act", a song, a dance, a novel creative talent or anything that is is entertaining and would be fun in a variety show, please contact us as soon as possible, as we are working on this show.

In March, Brittni Kather takes the helm as the director of Damselfly: The Diana Brookins Story, a story about medical error in time for International Patient Safety Week. MAME: Mothers Against Medical Error is a sponsor and we have openings for sponsors for this very important and timely production.

We are always looking to expand and we'd love to have you join our team, advisory board and Friends of UP!

Take a look at our youtube channel too!

Our way of doing theater has been a life saver to many thru the hard years of covid and other life disruptions. We remain committed to the value of what we do and hope you see it that way too.

Kindest regards,

Kim Sandstrom and Jan Thomas co-founders of Unboxed Productions.
