FROM SCRIPT TO YOU:  NEW WORKS FESTIVAL 
The 3rd Annual Studio Production of The North Canton Playhouse
 
     The New Works Festival began in 2007 and has been developed by Jeremy Lewis (festival creator, producer, and artistic director) and Mary McManaway (NCP artistic director) with the hope to promote writers and the collaboration of theatre artists during production.  In its third year, the festival has grown to include writers from across the United States, from CA on to NY, and at varying professional levels including performers, theatre magazine editors, national produced writers, arts administrators, military officers, journalists, professors, and undergrad and graduates students.  The festival emphasizes the process and exploration of creating truly new plays, both the refine and rough, cultivating the voice and craft of writer, director and actor.  This year six writers, three directors, and an ensemble of actors work together to present seven short plays.

Sailing and Twice Concise by Michael Laurently (Cleveland writer, actor, and 22 yrs in military)-Two scenes for the episodic full length Dream Café.

Suddenly Nobody by Noell Wolfgram Evan (Columbus theatre magazine editor and improv advisor)-One-legged female lion tamer considers her life options with her business manager, who fears loosing her as his main attraction now that the lion tamer has miraculously grew a second leg over night.
