New Plays, No Charge

Rural Intelligence Arts Section Image

The Rural Intelligence Region has become a high-power incubator for both musical theater (at Barrington Stage) and for straight plays (at Vassar’s Powerhouse and the new Berkshire Playwrights Lab, which has found a home at the Mahaiwe Theatre in Great Barrington.)

On Wednesday, July 30, the Berkshire Playwrights Lab will present a staged reading of Anna Ziegler‘s Variatons on a Theme, which is the story of a young playwright with a blossoming career, who sounds a lot like Ziegler, who was recently selected to be a writer in residence at the Old Vic in London. There will be a brief Q&A after the reading, which is being directed by Daniel Winerman.

At the Powerhouse in Poughkeepsie, will have it second Readings Festival from August 1 -3 with staged readings of five new plays: Mean Time by Alexandra Gersten-Vassilaros, Enough by Deborah Rennard, Little Black Dress by Ronan Noone, Knowing Cairo by Andrea Stolowitz, and Veronica by John Patrick Shanley. Admission is free to the peformances at the Susan Stein Shiva Theater, but reservations are required: 845-437-5599
