Scripts, Actors, And Audiences Converge In Ashland

Ashland New Plays Festival

"Let's go watch people read scripts out loud," may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but it packs in the crowds in Ashland. 

Especially for the Ashland New Plays Festival, which returns with four new plays this week (October 18-22). 

Audiences get to hear new works, and their authors get to hear the works out loud, with audience reactions. 

Beth Kander is this year's host playwright.  She plays a return visit with ANPF artistic director (and actor) Kyle Haden and associate artistic director (and play director) Jackie Apodaca.
