This week the Southern Writers' Project Festival of New Plays officially started with the arrival of the playwrights, directors, dramaturgs and actors who will be working together to get the four new plays that ASF has selected read for their concert readings this weekend.

We caught up with a couple of the playwrights and their dramaturgs to see how things were going after their first day on Tuesday.




Readings are just $10 each and a full schedule and details on the weekend are available at www.southernwritersproject.net

Shakespeare's Birthday Party

Last Friday night we celebrated the 446th Birthday of the Bard! We invited the community to come out for free cake and ice cream and performances by the Curtain Call Players, a group of experienced acting students from our camps and academies.

We estimate around 150 people attended this first-time event and we couldn't have been more pleased! Here are a few pictures from the party.

This AMAZING cake was donated by Liger's Bakery! THANK YOU!

A great time was had by all and you can mark April 23, 2011 for another Birthday Party for Shakespeare!
