Thistle Dew Theatre Offers New Works Forum Monday Nights

By:

The workshop members and the owners of The Thistle Dew, Tom and Ellie, are dedicated to supporting original works by local playwrights and offer the opportunity for new works to be performed in Sacramento on the Thistle Dew stage.

Calling all Playwrights and wanna-bees! Do you have a play you'd like critiqued? The workshop meets every Monday evening at 7:00.

On Monday nights, jump into the critique fray or listen quietly....until your passions rise and you feel compelled to join the mêlée. (Overheard before a reading: "I came just to listen, honestly, I've never critiqued a play before, but I just had to say something about Act II, Scene Three ....").
Yes. We know. We've all been there. All newcomers are welcome.

Many playwrights have been published since Thistle Dew Playwright's Workshop began three years ago including: Laura Sheperd, "Annie's Story", Julie Greene, "Going Somewhere?", Timothy Cahill, "The Seduction of Thomas Sorrell", & "Going to Tibet", Charles McIntosh "The Divine Court-Martial of Field-Marshal Keitel"" Thomas M. Kelly, "...smile, and smile, and be a villain.", "Ba-Bang! ( or the end of an error! ) ", "The Timekeeper", "Fana!", "The Butterfly Within", "Extreme Unction", "Zen and the Art of Making Par" and a collection of childrens plays: "Your in Trouble Now, Charlie!", "This is Not Our Backyard, Charlie!", "Wake Up, Jay! It's Christmas!", and "Stop Snoring, Jay! I'm Dreaming of Christmas."

Local Playwrights Produced At The Thistle Dew Playwrights Theatre: (Full-Length Plays) Timothy Cahill, Julie Greene, Paul Hauck, Thomas M. Kelly, Leo McElroy, Charles McIntosh, Laura Sheperd, Donya Wicken, (Monologues) Gladys Acosta, Timothy Cahill, Charley Cross, Theresa Elliot, Mark Fejta, Bernie Goldberg, Julie Greene, Eugene Griffith, Cindi Bennett, Frank Ingram, GloRia Jones, Thomas M. Kelly, Charles Kelso, Roger Linder, Laura Sheperd, Susan Webster, Donya Wicken and Jeff Webster.
