THE BLIZZARD PLAYS Open At Playhouse On The Green 3/22

Playhouse on the Green, Bridgeport's not-for-profit community theater in residence at a beautiful 228-seat jewel-box theater in the heart of downtown Bridgeport, presents staged readings of "The Blizzard Plays" on Sunday, March 22 at 7PM at Playhouse on the Green, as part of the "Page to Stage" New Play Reading Series. The "Page to Stage" Series is an ongoing Playhouse program that supports Connecticut playwrights and introduces audiences to their latest creations and serves as an important step in the development of new plays.

Stratford's "SquareWrights", a Connecticut-based playwrights group, were asked by Playhouse on the Green to write short plays using "blizzard" as a theme. The resulting eight short "blizzard" plays will be presented as staged readings featuring the work of local actors and directors.

"Page to Stage" Series curator Mark S. Graham will moderate an audience talk-back with the playwrights following the performance.

This is a free reading, with a suggested contribution of $10. Seating is on a first come, first served basis; no reservations necessary. Playhouse on the Green is located at 177 State Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut, 06604. Free parking is nearby. For information, please visit  www.playhouseonthegreen.org.
