Asolo Repertory Theatre's annual play festival will showcase four world premiere plays, including a Greenfield Prize-winning piece by noted playwright John Guare (House of Blue Leaves, Six Degrees of Separation), Eddie in the Andes. Showcasing the freshest talents writing for the theatre today, the fourth edition of Unplugged will also present readings of new theatrical works by Deborah Zoe Laufer, Informed Consent; Rogelio Martinez, When Tang Met Laika; and Steven Drukman, Marquis Aurelius. The staged readings will be the first time these new works-in-progress are read aloud publicly, and each reading will be followed by a conversation between the playwright and the audience. "A unique aspect of Unplugged is the opportunity for the audience to help shape the work of art from the ground up," said Greg Leaming, Director of The FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training, Associate Artistic Director for Asolo Rep, and curator for the Unplugged New Play Festival. "Some playwrights choose to use the feedback they receive during these post-reading conversations to hone the work before they consider it finished."
Unplugged, Asolo Rep's fourth annual festival of new plays, showcases the freshest new talents writing for the theatre today. Presented in a bare-bones staged reading format, audiences have a chance to experience fascinating new works in the earliest stages of their development. Led by Associate Artistic Director and Festival Curator Greg Leaming, Unplugged has given Asolo Rep the opportunity to supplement its season with new works. The highlight of this year's festival is the premiere of the 2011 Greenfield Prize-commissioned work by eminent Tony Award winning playwright John Guare (Six Degrees of Separation, House of Blue Leaves), Eddie in the Andes. Each reading will be followed by a Q&A session with the playwright and the director.
