Virgin Playwrights continues on December 14th!

Reading Kathya Alexander’s Homegoing.

Set in Rural Arkansas, Homegoing chronicles the return of June Bug, a struggling musician, to his mother’s house after 15 years of absence. After his mother falls suddenly ill, he has no choice but to rush back to his roots, new wife and all, and face a family who have never met the man that he’s become. As the family tries to come to terms with June Bug’s new way of life, June Bug questions his long disconnection and who he has become.

Admission is Pay-What-You-Can-When-You-Leave.

Aimed at fostering community by giving new playwrights the chance to further their artists process, the Virgin Playwrights program will provide playwrights with actors, a director, a space, and an audience for the purpose of producing a one-night staged reading of their submitted work. The atmosphere of the readings will be one of comfort and leisure, where we feel the playwright can receive one-on-one responses and feedback from both the audience and the actors.

This program will take place on the 2nd Sunday of every other month at Stone Soup Theatre, so we will be accepting submissions continuously until further notice.

You can also send us an email if you’re interested in being an actor or director in a Virgin Playwrights staged reading.
