OCPA to Present Staged Readings of 5 New Plays at Newport Theatre Arts Center, 7/13

The Orange County Playwrights Alliance brings staged readings of five new one-act plays to the ocean-view Newport Theatre Arts Center on Saturday, July 13 - works written by dramatists who have been produced across America. All five of these plays center on people finding themselves in unexpected places or finding truths at the core of their lives.

Waiting for Tomorrow by Bob Bevacqua - A man who wishes he could fast-forward through today's problems to tomorrow gets his wish and is re-birthed into the future.

Bloodletting and Poe by Erica Bennett - In the pitch black before dawn, can Diana find the key to unlock her bloodied heart? A slam poem directed by Dave Barton (Monkey Wrench Collective).

The Back Side of the Moon by Karen Fix Curry - When an artist finds herself in jail, she is must face the truth of who she really is. Directed by Kevin Slay (Chapman University).
