HT’s New Works Series offers exciting script-in-hand readings of new plays by emerging local playwrights. The readings are followed by a talk back with the playwright and actors to provide feedback to the playwright.
A short discussion will follow each reading to provide feedback to the playwright about their script.
The reading will be held at Hendersonville Theatre, 229 S. Washington Street, Hendersonville, NC. There is no charge to attend or to participate, however donations are welcome and will be used to support HT.
Hendersonville Theatre is committed to exploring and developing new work for American theater, supporting local playwrights with their creative process from concept to production.
Bridgeport-1989 by Bret Murphy will be read on March 25. In Bridgeport-1989, Anna Person is 23 and works at Shop-N-Save to support herself and her needy mother. Her life begins to change dramatically after she has a “near-death” experience.
Bret Murphy lives in Burnsville, North Carolina. Her play In the Middle of Nowhere is currently being produced at the Parkway Parkhouse in Burnsville. It was also produced at the Magnetic Theatre in Asheville in 2021 and developed at the Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights in Abingdon, Virginia at the Barter Theatre in 2020. Bridgeport-1989 has not been produced but it was workshopped at the Sewanee Writers' Conference in July 2022.
Playwrights who would like to submit work for consideration for the New Works Series can follow the submission guidelines posted at www.HVLtheatre.org/about-us and email questions to playsubmissions@HVLtheatre.org.
