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.
It's no secret that Louisville has an abundance of theatre. With so many shows and production companies, there is no dearth of opportunity for actors, directors and designers to get involved and do what they love to do. What perhaps are lacking in the community are platforms for local playwrights to showcase their work. That's where Finnigan's Festival, founded by Brian Walker in 2007, comes in.
Louisville's theater community is a writer-friendly place, and a new group is adding its efforts to the mix, with a focus as much on process as on product.
