After the Influence: Theresa Rebeck

Kate McDaniel, announcing the night:

Two weeks later, we return to the table to read the brand-new work generated from the June 3 gathering.

These are first readings—fresh pages, new voices, and original plays being heard aloud for the very first time in a room of fellow artists.

Eleven original short plays were submitted in response to the June 3 Rebeck night. Nine of them were read at the table on June 17, each for the first time:

• The Pannapictagraphist, by Mauro Contrastano
• The Company We Keep, by Andrew O’Brien
• So Sorry to Kill You, Poor Little Man, by Bette Carlson Siler
• How Can I Help You?, by Joni Fritz
• Chickadees, by Rich Feldman
• Hippies and Lawyers, by Nick DeSimone
• Rewrite, by Lori M. Myers
• The Platform, by Jill Friedman
• Reunion, by Ric Siler

The session ran to 9:30 p.m. rather than the usual 9. Pelham Fringe kept the whole room together for one longer evening instead of splitting the nine readings across two nights.

Held at The Manor Club. Pelham Fringe is no longer associated with The Manor Club.
