ACT Playwright's Showcase: Exit Wounds by Mark Duncan
Albany Civic Theater is proud to present local playwright Mark Dalton’s play Exit Wounds at our annual Playwright’s Showcase on Sunday, August 2 at 3 PM.
Exit Wounds masterfully confronts the topic of gun violence as it presents us with the tense, gut-wrenching reunion of Alex and Gabe inside the visiting room of a New York State prison. This is the first time that these two men, once childhood friends, have met since Alex murdered eight people in a school shooting that left lone survivor Gabe with physical – and emotional – scars. Over the course of a single conversation, the two navigate remorse, trauma, identity, and the difficult question of what redemption might look like after an act of unspeakable violence.
The play explores psychological excavation with sharp, dark humor as Gabe and Alex push each other toward uncomfortable truths. Exit Wounds is both a confrontation and a reckoning—an exploration of survival, guilt, and the potential to change.
Admission is free, but donations are very much appreciated!
