Talking Horse is launching a new event this November, and we know you'll want to be a part of it! The Starting Gate New Play Festival is a weekend of performances featuring six new 10-minute plays, written especially for the festival. Playwrights Milbre Burch, Larry Guthrie, Jr., and Hartley Wright were given the challenge of each writing two plays: one about starting and one about finishing. We have workshopped these six plays over a five-month period, and now the plays have been cast and are in rehearsal.
The festival will be held at the Talking Horse Theatre, 210 Saint James Street, on November 13, 14, and 15. The Friday and Saturday performances will be at 7:30; the Sunday performance is a 2:00 matinee. Tickets for the festival are only $5! You can purchase online, make reservations at 573-268-1381, or buy at the door (as available). Just think - six plays for $5!
We'll feature our start plays first, followed by a brief intermission, and then end with our finish plays. The playwrights will all be in attendance, too! This festival is designed to celebrate the craft and artistry of playwrighting, and we think you'll have a blast! Make plans to attend TODAY!
