Boston Actors Theater Announces Summer Play Festival 2011
Continuing in its mission of supporting local playwrights and artists, Boston Actors Theater will conclude its seventh season with its Summer Play Festival 2011. This season's festival will be presented, July 29th through August 7th, Fridays - Saturdays 8pm & Sundays 2pm, at the Boston Playwright's Theater, 949 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA. Tickets are $20 General Admission, $10 with student ID.
Featuring original works by local authors, Catherine Durickas, Kelly DuMar and Elizabeth DuPre, Summer Play Festival 2011 continues this season's exploration of faith, religion and spirituality, all the while weaving together the stories of a young girl inspired by a photo of a Hindu Goddess; Re-incarnated souls dreaming of past selves; and young intellectuals looking for love amidst faith and mitosis. Full of faith, imagination, wisdom and wit, Summer Play Festival is a celebration of original local work, and a bridge to a new season, "Torn from the Headlines", an exploration of subjects relevant to Bostonians.
Established in 2004, Boston Actors Theater has firmly established itself as a company for local artists, writers and directors. In 2010 Boston Actors Theater supported 25 local playwrights, 15 local directors and countless local artists. In 2011, Boston Actors Theater has already produced Soul Fight by local Playwright Catherine O'Neill and will continue its work to strengthen and support Boston's theatre community for this season and beyond.
