From July 31 to August 4, The Players is where it starts! For 16 years, The Players Centre for Performing Arts has served as an incubator for fledgling and seasoned playwrights to hone their craft of fable, and this year is no different. The 16th annual New Play Festival celebrates local playwrights and their penchant for the art of storytelling. This week-long event will showcase newly written works that have not yet been produced anywhere. Five plays were chosen by a panel of judges from a bevy of submissions to compete over these five days to be fully produced in The Players backstage space next season. Each play will be presented in 'readers theatre' (rehearsed readings) format to best showcase the literature. The event is coordinated by local theatre maven Sandra Musicante and will also feature a brief talkback session led by Artistic Director Jeffery Kin after each play. This past year's winner, Connie Schindewolf's 'Mammoth Bones' will premier August 22 through 27.
