Award-Winning International Production Company Ego Actus Launches SURVIVAL IS INSUFFICIENT Zoom Theater Festival

The award-winning international production company Ego Actus will premiere a new Zoom theater festival, SURVIVAL IS INSUFFICIENT, which will be presented live Tuesday nights at 7:30PM/ET beginning October 6.

The 10-play weekly reading series will run through October, November and December. There will be no reading on Election Day, November 3.

Said Ego Actus founders Joan Kane and Bruce A! Kraemer: "We called this festival Survival is Insufficient because we simply can't wait for indoor physical theater to return. It's important that theater artists come together to share our creativity and keep our community alive through whatever safe platforms are available. We're proud to present these 10 thoughtful and entertaining plays from a roster of outstanding writers, directors and actors which will remind audiences of the timeless wonder of theater."
