Columbus Day
by Forrest Attaway
A young woman faced with an unexpected pregnancy strikes out on her own to keep the child, all the while fighting a potentially dark future while struggling with an even darker past.
Columbus Day received its world premiere at The Living Room in October of 2014.
"Despite a few rough edges, Columbus Day succeeds as a dark character study, with a worldview that feels fully formed. Attaway works from a palette of likable but deeply flawed characters. No matter our intentions, his script seems to suggest, our actions — like Columbus' — tend toward destruction. Our vices bubble always under the surface, waiting for their chance to wound and weaken."
