The
Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley’s 9th Annual One-Act
Playwriting Workshop and Festival will have two performances, March 13 and 14
at 7:30 pm, at The Amato Center For The Performing Arts in Milford NH.
This
year’s program includes four new plays written by student playwrights on the
theme of Faith. The winning plays include a new comedy by Devon Labonte, a
tragedy by Nicole Sprague, a historic adventure, by Gabe Garcia, and a
Victorian fantasy by Gage Turgeon and Woody Stockwell. In this all-youth
production, eighteen actors will play thirty-eight roles.
This
unique program was created by award winning Artistic Director, Toby Tarnow, to
foster creativity and support academic achievement for young people. Each year
the playwriting workshop welcomes new works by grade and high school students
that are submitted by mid November, according to the Riverbend School of
Theater Arts guidelines and written on a special theme. The program is
supported in part by a grant from The Nancy O Fund of the NH Charitable
Foundation.
The
festival is always a treat for cast and playwrights alike. Everyone has
enormous fun creating new characters from new plays while collaborating to
bring these works from the page to the stage.
The excitement in the rehearsal space is palpable and that enthusiasm
always translates to the performance. Help encourage and support our young
playwrights with your attendance; the final essential element of any play is
the audience!
Mark your calendars! Tickets are $5 at the door.
