'This segment of the initiative proffers a platform for the public reception of new work either complete or ʻin progressʼ. All work submitted is reviewed, selected, and cast with the specific purpose of readings for the general public. This public reading offers the playwrights a new perspective on their developing works prior to further revision and review. This component of the Initiative is most important. The community that surrounds the summer festival each year is employed as advocates of these playwrights as they work to discover and develop their personal aesthetic as well as seeking the next wave of dramatic form.' (Playwrights' Initiative Mission.)
Our three visiting playwrights and our resident playwright, Joshua Mikel, will present their pre-written works, still in development, this weekend at the Babcock Fine Arts Centre Art Gallery. The schedule is as follows:
SATURDAY, JULY 17TH 2010, 2PM
