For The Glory • A Play

For The Glory • A Play

by Joanna H. Kraus (with Hobart Brown)

Dawn, wanna-be journalist, is tired of being an Indy 500 driver’s trophy girlfriend. Instead, she’ll cover the Kinetic Sculpture Race, the same Memorial Day weekend. Furious, Will ridicules the whole idea of human powered, all-terrain art vehicles. “3 days to go 38 miles!” For her story, Dawn volunteers to be co-pilot on Da Vinci’s Dream. The race is wacky and challenging, but Dawn discovers a more humane world, a sympathetic guy, and most important, she finds herself. The Kinetic Grand Championship in Humboldt, County, California was founded as the Kinetic Sculpture Race in Ferndale, California in 1969 and is still running every Memorial Day. Kinetic sculptures are designed with tongue-in-cheek humor and must be able to be people-powered over a variety of different terrains. Since the first of these three-day races over sea, sand and slime began, other copycat races have sprung up  in other states and even other nations. The sculptures vary in size, cost and theme; but always they are inventive and funny in their titles, costumes and method of traversing the race course.
The first version of this play was the winner of the American Voices New Play Reading Series where it had an Equity staged reading at GeVa, a member of the League of Resident Theatres in Rochester, NY. This current version was a De Le Salle Company production in Concord, California and was the winner of the national Jewel Box Theatre Playwrighting Award contest.
