New Ideas Festival 2015
Join us for New Ideas Festival 2015. Enjoy this creative festival of new plays and staged readings on Saturdays at noon.
The venue for this year’s festival is the Studio at Alumnae Theatre.
15 new works will be performed.
Here’s a taste of the compelling stories that will be told:
Human connection in our digital world of cell phones, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and online dating is a predominant theme.
The plays characters include: the perfect mate, squabbling siblings, a troubled civil servant, two elderly Italian ladies turned detective, a Tamil refugee, and last but not least, Prometheus and Sandworms!
Show times:
Wednesday to Saturday, 8 pm
Saturday and Sunday matinées, 2:30 pm (talkback after the Saturday 2:30 pm show)
Readings will be at 12 noon on each Saturday, followed by a talkback.
