Exciting news! I’m one of ten finalists selected for A Play, A Pint & A Pie One-Act Comedy Festival, staged by Hopkinton Center for the Arts, located in MetroWest Boston, Massachusetts.
ARMCHAIR CRITIC will be performed on August 26th 2023 in an outdoor performance featuring a series of original, one-act plays from writers all over the world, and staged by Enter Stage Left Theater (ESL) - the resident theatre company of the Hopkinton Center for the Arts.
The “play, pie and pint” concept began life as an innovative lunchtime theatre experience at the Òran Mór in Glasgow, and has grown to be described by The Guardian as “a bedrock of the Scottish theatre industry”. It was launched in 2004 by actor, director, producer and writer David MacLennan, with the founding principle “A new play at lunchtime every week lasting no more than an hour, accompanied by a pie and a pint.” This Glaswegian theatre tradition has since been successfully exported around the world, and a homage to this phenomenon is now being brought to MetroWest audiences on the East Coast by the talented creative teams at HCA and ESL .
I’ll post further details and the ticket link for the event nearer the time.
