Warner Theatre to Host Connecticut Artists & Playwrights Festival, 10/19

The Warner Theatre will host The Connecticut Artists & Playwrights Festival, presented by the CT Dramatist Guild, Sunday, October 19 at 3 pm, in the Warner's Nancy Marine Studio Theatre.

The Connecticut Artists & Playwrights Festival brings together visual art featuring Connecticut artists exhibiting in Torrington's Five Points Gallery with Connecticut playwrights to create new ten-minute plays that will be produced at the Warner Theatre's Nancy Marine Studio Theatre.

The Connecticut Artists & Playwrights Festival recognizes the work of emerging and established artists from across the state. It gives visual artists an opportunity for their art to serve as inspiration for a piece of dramatic writing. It gives playwrights a forum for production of their ten-minute plays that are inspired by one of three pieces of visual art.
