Created by the Women’s Voices Theater Festival, National New Play Network, and New Play Exchange, INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S VOICES DAY is on Sunday, January 21st!
Along with theaters around the world, the Contemporary American Theater Festival and Shepherd University’s Department of Contemporary Art & Theater are proud to celebrate by hosting a free reading of a new play, written by a woman.
Join us at 6pm on January 21st to hear Jennifer Barclay’s Ripe Frenzy.
In Tavistown, New York, a recent tragedy has rocked the community to its core. Narrator and town historian, Zoe, recounts the days leading up to the incident, as the high school prepares for the semi-annual production of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town. This stunning new play explores community in the wake of unspeakable devastation. Ripe Frenzy was commissioned by a grant from the National New Play Network, with funding from The Smith Prize for New Plays.
