"I was asked to apply for the job by its founder, Andy Polk, who retired after 17 years," he said. Brooks lives in Brooklyn and is a freelance theater director. Five hundred plays are submit- ted through literary managers and agents. There's a reading committee.Narrowingselections to20, Brooks makes the f inalcall on works to be presented during the summer season at Falmouth Academy. "I am looking for a range of voices, for plays which are aweek awayfromproduction to those in the raw state,"he said. There are mid-level, beginning and known writers whose pieces are read by casts including Obie award-winningactors, and staged by directors who compare to the playwrights in having varying degrees of experience. Plays must not run too long or have too many characters. (Typical of other theaters' limits these days.) Brooks said he also thinks of his audience when picking plays. "The Woods Hole community, many of whom are scientists, wantsomethingboth entertaining and intellectuallychallenging,"he said.Audiencesliketoparticipate in the process; talk back recom- mendations after each reading havebeen incorporated by writers some of whose plays have gone on to New Yorkproductions He rSentionedPulitzer recipient An- rjje Baker as one of their alums. ..Development week gives writ- ers an opportunity to hear and cnange their work. "One play- vftight changedhisstoryradically qpenight,"said Brooks. "Then he mergedhis older versionwiththe new one." (Subscribers to the seriesspeak of how interesting it wasto seethe pieces change; how much fun to be part of the discussion. Some even go on more than one evening for some of the plays to see how they morph.) The first reading, held last weekend, presented The End of Beautyby Cory Hinkle.A student returns to hisprofessors as a star, andwetrackhimovertime,to see what it means to be an artist, to take risks.The play also explores marriage. Next up is a work by Hamish Linklater, "an actorturned play- wright," Brooks said. "He's worked in TheNewsroomonHBO, just played Benedict in MuchAdo AboutNothingat Shakespeare in the Park. The work is raw in that there'sa certainhonesty and truth which isright out there, yet takes a while to come to the surface. There are unexpected turns." Linklater's play, Just Lean Out Your Window and Shout, will be read July 10-12 SeaWife (July 17-19) by Seth Moore (whose The Man -with the American Skin has won two awards) and the musical group The Lobbyists will combine sea chanteys with a well -structured story for an evening that Brooks called "a departure" for CCPT. "I've worked with Alena Smith, author of The New Sin- cerity (July 24-26) and I think she has an incredible ear for what is current, is modern, and is in the Zeitgeist," Brooks said. "Thisseason'slast play is about a left-wing magazinewhose editor tries to co-opt an Occupy Wall Street type of movement. One writer, who is having an affair with the editor, wants to keep it real. There'sthepolitical angle,as well as a story about how career and power intersect."
