The 6th annual Culture Park Short Plays Marathon, is upcoming on Saturday, November 10, 2007. The Marathon will run from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm, at GalleryX 169 William Street in downtown New Bedford.
20+ original plays by local and regional playwrights - emerging and produced - will be presented as staged readings by an ensemble of directors and local and professional actors and theatre artists. Submitted plays are read by a small reading committee made up of writers, directors and playwrights, and many of the plays selected have local themes. Playwrights will be present, and the Marathon is punctuated by question and answer sessions with the writers and actors. A playwriting workshop will be offered in conjunction with the Marathon.
Refreshments are available throughout. Admission to all of the readings (workshop fee not included) is $20 for the day, $15 for either afternoon or evening, $12 members, seniors and students. Handicapped-accessible. Tickets will be available at the door, or may be reserved by contacting Culture Park at 508-990-7779. (Group rates available.)
