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.

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!
