Theatre Artists Workshop Three-Day Spring Playwrights Festival

By |

In three days of extraordinary performances that will entertain, amuse, enlighten and move, eight short original works for the theatre — comedy, drama, mystery and fantasy — will debut in the Theatre Artists Workshop’s 2017 Spring Playwrights Festival on the weekend of May 19 to 21. The event takes place Friday and Saturday, May 19 and 20 starting at 8 p.m. each night, and Sunday, May 21 at 3 p.m. in TAW’s beautiful black box theatre at 5 Gregory Blvd, Norwalk. From the underworld to the apocalypse, a bedroom to an airplane, these original one-act plays and monologues represent the diverse sensibilities and some of the current efforts of the Workshop’s talented playwrights. They will be performed by TAW’s gifted company of professional actors. Tickets for the benefit are $25.Reservations are strongly recommended and can be made at the box office at 203-854-6830 or online. Produced by actor/writer/directors Granville Burgess of Greenwich, and Carole Schweid of Westport, who also produces the popular lunchtime series, “Play With Your Food,” the Playwrights Festival is part of the annual TAW fundraising campaign for the not-for-profit organization whose mission is to promote theatrical excellence. 

In Fran Dorf’s claustrophobic dystopian drama “The Basement of Everything You Need,” a married couple find themselves in paradise with no way out.  Or maybe it’s actually hell on earth.  
“This piece is my way of reflecting the Zeitgeist of our times,” says novelist turned playwright/screenwriter Fran Dorf of Stamford.  The 12-minute play features veteran TAW actors Allan Zeller of Milford and Stephanie Hazard of New Canaan.
