Friends and Neighbors Festival: Works by Women

[zvi]

Every weekend in June, the Strand Theater Company is producing a $5 play by an emerging local playwright.

The Friends and Neighbors Festival is an opportunity for emerging playwrights to showcase their work in a semi-professional environment. It also gives patrons the chance to view new works of theater inexpensively. The playwrights in the 2010 festival were hand selected from a group of 45 submissions. The plays in the Friends and Neighbors Festival: Works by Women exemplify creativity in writing, use of space, and theater techniques. The four plays in the festival vary from traditional to experimental. Each playwright works with a director and cast present the audience with a first look of their original piece. We are proud to add the Maryland State Arts Council to our list of donors to the festival. Please read below a description of each play.
