New Play Café series
The inaugural New Play Café series is on March 3,4,5 and 10,11,12 at 7:30 pm at the New Prospect Theatre, 207 Prospect Street, Bellingham. Donations are accepted for admission.
The plays will have one or two rehearsals and are presented without staging, props, or sets. The actors are at music stands, reading from the script.
The playwrights come from throughout the Pacific Northwest, including two from Bellingham, two from Seattle, one from Camano Island, and one from Portland.
Themes in the plays include the complexities of family dynamics and monsters; an exploration of sex, power, and unrequited love; belonging, connection, and the barriers we experience with each; and, two plays inspired by real events: one of a famous Seattle Madam and a second play about a lighthouse keeper.
