Lately, it seems as if there's been something in the air in the Rhode Island theatre scene. Or maybe something in the drinking water. Something rather dark. There are a number of plays that have just ended, are running currently, or are about to open, which deal with very dark, disturbing or depressing themes and images. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, of course. And no rhyme or reason for why it's so pervasive right now, it's mere coincidence. Still, there's a lot of dark out there right now and it's nice to mix things up with lighter fare, perhaps something along the lines of the delightful production of Picasso at the Lapin Agile, presented by Counter-Productions Theatre Company, which just closed at Ninety-Five Empire.

New play development is one of the most essential and necessary elements to a thriving theatrical world. Playwrights must keep writing plays and their plays must be given the time to grow, develop, change, morph and grow again. And theater companies must be able and willing to give those plays the opportunity to do so. They must provide the incubator, where the perfect creative environment can be created to foster, nurture and support the development of young and growing works of theatrical art. In Rhode Island, The Wilbury Group is one theater that is taking up that mantle, with its Emerging Artists and New Works Series. They are providing just want new works need, offering to shepherd them through the process, from readings to full-scale productions. One such production is their current show, the inaugural production of the New Works Series, It's a Spaceship Now, conceived, written and performed by Stuart Wilson.
