Prothero

Potato Sorbet Productions

LOCATION: Salt Lake City, Utah

SYNOPSIS: Prothero details the unexplainable events surrounding a war medic in the days leading up to a crucial battle. Dr. Prothero, gifted with the ability to sense at a glance whether a patient will live or die, rises to fame as a brilliant medic – and rises to infamy for her complete lack of empathy. Treating patients – and potential allies – as unfeeling figures in the mathematical equation of Life and Death, Prothero withdraws further and further into a world strictly governed by rules only she seems to know. Under the guidance and urging of a jovial young assistant, the doctor begins to experiment with the limits of her power – stretching the “equation” to shift the scales away from Death’s true desires. As Prothero’s pride, fame – and some might say, arrogance – grow in the battle, she will discover what it means to view human life as something worth saving. But such discoveries come at a cost – and risk a wrath that Prothero was taught never to provoke.

ARTIST BIO: Potato Sorbet Productions is a relatively new organization founded by two roommates who studied in the same collegiate acting program. Our purpose is to reappropriate male dominated narratives from popular culture, myth, legend, and theater in order to popularize art that is centered around feminine experience and feminist issues. We focus on genuine acting talent, equitable inclusion, and productions that we believe call attention to important social issues, and hopefully contribute to positive social change.
