What: Orphanage reading is one step toward preparing this play for a production in Germany and Austria, and is intended to uncover the story’s essential parts through its effect on a fresh audience. CoLAB will also present portraiture work of two visual artists along with a reception before and after the reading with complimentary wine, food, and music.

Event Details: Ken Wydro is a published author, produced playwright and lyricist, veteran Broadway and off- Broadway producer of more than fifteen productions, public speaker, and a Director of Programs at the Mama Foundation for the Arts, New York [a 501(c)3 education organization in Harlem]. A recipient of a BA degree in Psychology and Comparative Literature from the University of Rochester (NY), a Master’s Degree in Theater from the University of California at Berkeley, and a member of the Analytical Psychology Club at the C.G. Jung Center in New York, Mr. Wydro utilizes his education and training in both psychology and theater arts to hone his craft as a writer. Especially in Secrets, he concentrates on the subconscious elements of the human mind.

Secrets chronicles the intimate relationship between the founders of psychoanalytic theory, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. From their revelatory first meeting to their eventual falling out, this play follows the true events of the development of a completely new way to analyze the human mind through the direct effect of subconscious desire. The subconscious binds the characters in this play; it drives them to affectation, to love, to laughter, to intimate friendships, and quite often tears them apart. It is this subconscious drive, as Secrets describes, that will ultimately decide the actions of the characters in the play and the consequences they must face.
