New Ideas Festival 2013: the writer/director teams!

Amendment to Nov 27 post:  the play Dinner Date by Jessica Moss (Week One) has been replaced by Suzanne Gauthier’s Still Waters.   (If you attended the Write Now! event on Oct 21, you might recall  this charming piece.  See post at https://alumnaetheatre.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/write-now-2012-running-water/)

Next step:  the cold reads next week!  An opportunity for playwrights and directors to hear the plays read aloud by actors.  No, this is not the auditions – the actors are assigned by the Festival’s Artistic Directors, not cast by the actual director of each play.  The real thing happens in January – watch the Auditions page of Alumnae’s website for the official notice in a week or so.
