About the  Joyce R. Whitley ArenaFest Festival of New Plays . .  . 

The plays chosen for ArenaFest must focus on themes of the African  American  
experience. Ten plays are selected out of the works  sent in. The two week 
festival of stage readings are double billed and are  performed, Mondays-Fridays 
at 6pm in the Arena Theatre.. . Admission is free. No  readings on Good 
Friday, April 14, 2006.

The moderator will conduct a post-discussion after each  reading with 
audience and playwright (if present).
 
Fifty to fifty-five plays were submitted last summer and fall for  
consideration in the 14th Annual R. Joyce Whitley Arenafest Festival of New  Plays for 
this year. The fest runs April 10, thru April 21, 2006.  The festival is named 
in honor of the late R. Joyce Whitley, a major  contributor to Karamu House.  
The ArenaFest Festival of New Plays are  performed as staged readings of new 
and well known playwrights. 

Prolific playwright Sherry Shephard  first submitted regional theatre 
favorite "Waiting to Be Invited" to  the festival. Award winning playwright and 
Clevelander Bridgette Wimberly  (Off B'way's "Saint Lucy's Eyes") works such as 
"Seperation of Blood" and "7  Sisters" were part of the festival the past two 
years. Gregory S. Carr's  "Johnnie Taylor is Gone" read at the festival two years 
ago and was  one of Karamu's biggest hits during the 2005/2006 season. 
Actor/playwright and  Clevelander Cornell Calhoun III had two festival readings 
produced, one  was"Grand Prix" during the 2002/2003 season. His play "East 43rd, 
read last year  is currently a semi-finalist in the 2006 National Playwrights 
Conference  at the prestigious Eugene O' Neill Theatre Center in  Conneticut..
