On Wednesdays in June, EAG is partnering with us for their annual Barbour Playwrights Award! Together, we will present readings of three new plays, with one writer being awarded a prize of $500.
We're particularly excited by this partnership, as it allows us to continue to work on plays that we have previously presented as a part of various salon seasons - "Confessional" in 2019, "Abhinaya: A Dance Play" in 2020, and "Un Hombre: A Golem Story" in 2022!
The lead producer of this reading series is artistic director Ria T. DiLullo.
Stage Management of this reading series is provided by Callie Considine.

CONFESSIONAL by Emily Claire Schmitt
Wednesday, June 7 at 7:00 PM
When the unsolved shooting of a Catholic high school girl rocks the tight-knit community of Staten Island, New York, Abby, who has begrudgingly moved back after years of living in Manhattan, finds herself inexplicably drawn back to the people and patterns of her youth. Is her creeping sense of guilt merely a byproduct of her Catholic upbringing, or are the persistent memories of sinister encounters with her own brother pointing her toward a darker truth? Confessional is a story of the questions we avoid asking and the secrets we keep from ourselves.
Directed by Ria T. DiLullo. Featuring Sam Given, Jamie Lorenzo, Abraham Makany, Juan Roman Jr., Gael Schaefer, and Isabella Jane Schiller.
