ArtsWestchester - November 2021
Returning to the Stage Posted on November 24, 2021 by ArtsWestchester
“The relationship between actor and audience during a performance is essential in being able to enjoy a full theatrical experience,” explains Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT) Executive Artistic Director Alan Lutwin. “Theater is a ‘live’ art form.”
For the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, WCT will return to live on-stage performances with a festival of one-act plays from December 3-12. The never-before-seen plays are written, directed and acted by well-established Westchester and New York City professionals.
“WCT’s primary mission is to develop and nurture new plays. The selected plays were culled from works that went through our Lab/Workshop process over the past two years,” Lutwin explains. The Company’s member playwrights, actors and directors participate in a Lab process in which, three nights per month, new plays are read and critiqued.
Lutwin says that the plays are “one of the highest quality collections [they]’ve yet to present,” and points to this assessment as proof that “there is an alternative to traveling to the City to catch quality theater.”
The five featured plays offer a mix of dark humor, drama and plot twists. Most of them take place in a diner or dive bar, which inspired the festival’s Diners, Dives & Dreamers title. They also “explore the essential question of what it means to be human from totally unique perspectives.” Read the full article here
