[NEohioPAL] CPT: NEOMFA Playwriting Festival Opens this Weekend!

[Karen Stewart]

NEOMFA Playwriting Festival


A new partnership between CPT and the Northeast Ohio Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing paired three student playwrights with professional directors, actors and designers to create workshop productions you don't want to miss!



Patterns
By Tom Hayes
Directed by Brian Zoldessy
March 11 - 13
What do you author and what authors you? By combining myth, fairy tale, personal history, dressmaking and theatre, layers of conscious reality are laid bare and meaning in one woman's life is prodded, crucified, drawn and quartered and reconstructed again and again.



Fire Dance
By Michael Parsons
Directed by Jeremy Paul
March18 - 20
Nicky McManus is a New York firefighter. His brother Sean is a stockbroker in Chicago who returns to the Big Apple after the death of their mother. Sean decides to stay in New York and move in with Nicky in an effort to connect with his brother--and to pursue his old flame, Janice. When Janice moves into the apartment, however, long-dormant passions are aroused in cold-hearted Nicky, and old rivalries between the brothers come to the surface with consequences that will change them both forever.



The Pole
By Jennifer A. Willoh
Directed by Nina Domingue
March 25 - 27
The Pole is a play about a small community of holiday and corporate mascots who share a common bar, called The Pole, where the co-dependent relationship between Big Bob and Santa Nick is explored.



The NEOMFA in Creative Writing is a consortium of four universities: Cleveland State, Kent State, Youngstown State & University of Akron.



All productions will take place in the James Levin Theatre and show times are 7:30 p.m. Friday & Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $13-$15. To purchase or for more information, call 216.631.2727 X501 or visit cpt.online.org<cptonline.org>.
