2016 New Works Festival Thank You!
Whew! We are still basking in the glow of the New Works Festival that took place August 22-28. What a week!
Every event went off without a hitch, and audiences were standing room only. Our theme, “Women & the Body Politic,” could not have been more perfect to explore using theater and performance. The talent on display — playwrights, performers, guests, artists — was truly inspiring. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who participated!
Our very special thanks to: Festival Producer/House Manager Spiraleena Mason, who (with her team Will Carduner, Renae Davison and Zach Kopciak) made the huge 7-day undertaking look effortless; Salon Series Finalists Robin Bradford and Lee Brady for their wonderful readings; “Late-ish Show” guests Debi Durst, Kimberly Ellis, Kimberly MacLean, Rachel Hamilton, Adrienne Sengpiehl, Cheryl Cain and Daria D’Andrea; ReproRights: curator Jennifer Roberts , NARAL speaker Amy Everitt; LezWrites!: curators Margery Kreitman and Jewelle Gomez; GirlWrights: director Suze Allen and BHPF liaison Karyn McElroy; and Art Show curator Denise Doyle.
Stay tuned for our announcement about the 2017 New Works Festival, coming soon!
