The Powerhouse Theatre Collaborative Play Festival @ Prescott Farm in Laconia is once again tackled by NH Unscripted! Today’s guests, Gary Locke (one of the directors) and Chuck Fray (one of the writers) stop in to discuss the Festival in more detail. We talked about things like: Is the shortened format easier or more difficult to work with? What do they think the actors, audience and writers will take away from the event? How does writing for a shorter play impact the structure of the writing? Why even do a Play Festival with plays that are under 15-20 minutes apiece? We covered a lot in this hour so hang on!!!
