TUCSON, ARIZ.—Jan. 26, 2024—Old Pueblo Playwrights will hold OPEN AUDITIONS for its annual celebration of original theatre—The 2024 New Play Festival—Mon. and Tues., Feb. 5-6, at 7 PM at the St. Francis in the Foothills campus, 4625 E. River Road, Room 50, Tucson. St. Francis is handicapped-accessible with plenty of free parking. The performance venue is the St. Francis Community Center.
The spring Festival features staged readings of 11 original works—some short; most full-length—by ten (10) Tucson-area playwrights over two weekends in April. There are dozens of great roles for actors of all ages, color, gender, experience. Actors receive a small honorarium and must attend at least one rehearsal. Plays are performed just once, script in hand, with minimal blocking, props, set pieces, and lighting, followed by post-performance talkbacks.
Follow us on Facebook at oldpuebloplaywrights for more information.
