2018-2019 Season
|
This is not a new play. This is not a new story. For some in the theatre community, doing a "Labute show" triggers eye rolls and knowing smirks due to how often they are staged, or the sometimes clumsy and out-of-touch approaches to progressive ideas they contain.
But lately it has become clear that we are still a clumsy and out-of-touch society. And so we have this play. Unremarkable people stuck in an unremarkable town, looking for some value in their lives. September 28- October 6th 2018 |
Our first ever festival of short plays inspired by works of Shakespeare! We have collected ten-minute and one-act plays from writers all over the country that reimagine, reinterpret, and revise Shakespeare’s life and work for a weekend of exciting new theatre. The best shows will win cash prizes!
