BWW Reviews: FINNIGAN'S FESTIVAL OF DERBY CITY PLAYWRIGHTS Engages and Inspires
by Robert Sisk - April 08, 2015
In a city as culturally rich and vibrant as Louisville, it's a true shame there aren't more opportunities for local playwrights to showcase their work. Without being spoken aloud by actors, brought to life by directors and ultimately performed in front of an audience, it seems difficult for a playwright to critically gauge the potential perception of their work. Thanks to "Finnigan's Festival of Derby City Playwrights," twelve local playwrights have such a stage, and the result provides much hope for some of these burgeoning playwrights.
