BaCCA to present First Annual New Playwrights Festival April 13

The Babylon Arts Council (BaCCA) is presenting the First Annual New Playwrights Festival, Friday, April 13, 8 to 10 p.m. at Farmingdale State College. In conjunction with a new theater company known as the Festival Group, the Babylon Arts Council has partnered with the Distinguished Speakers Program of Farmingdale State College to develop the New Playwright's Festival, an event that offers the opportunity for playwrights, actors, directors and audiences to experience new works by up and coming authors.

Plays for the event were solicited through the Internet, print publications and word-of-mouth. All were carefully reviewed by a panel of highly accredited and respected theater professionals charged with the unenviable task of choosing the best six one-act plays to present.

The Festival will also incorporate a discussion on the art of script writing and development on the Farmingdale State College Campus. On Tuesday, April 10, 11 a.m. authors whose plays are being produced will hold an interactive discussion with Farmingdale students and the public to speak about their works, the process of writing scripts and general topics related to theater. The program is open to the public and will shed light on theater arts.

The following are the six one-act plays that were selected to be performed: Service of Process by Matthew Tomasino, Dawsey Nadgett by Judy Gebauer, Heartbeat by Elise Nash, Motherblood by Saphira Linden and Susan Nisenbaum, American Marvel by Michael Burdick and That Dress by Steve Strangio.

For information call BaCCA at 631-587-3696.
