Chris and I went to see the first part of the New Works Winter Festival 2008 last night at Acme. I had referred to it as "short attention span theater"— if you don't like a play, another one will be along in 5 minutes. We really enjoyed "Track X" (female playwrights), especially Fairy Tales at the Subway Station and Boo/ Yay. Tonight we're going over to work the concession stand and see "Track Y".
The festival will be performed January 11, 12, 18 & 19, 8PM. Call the Box Office at 978-823-0003 for reservations.For 2008, we are scratching our seven year itch and mixing up the festival format a bit. As always, we will have two festival tracks, but this year, we'll be separating the tracks into a night for female playwrights and a night for male playwrights (X&Y).
