American Dreaming New Play Festival

Past event
Aug 11, 7 PM to 4 PM, Aug 13, 2023

This weekend -- Middlebury Acting Company is excited to present the second annual American Dreaming New Play Festival under the tent at the Swift House Inn!

Join us for staged readings of three vibrant, entertaining, funny, thought-provoking new plays selected out of over 100 plays submitted in a nationwide search. The plays are brought to life by local professional theater makers, and after each staged reading you can stick around for a moderated talkback with the playwrights. Come be a part of the new play development process!

This year's plays include: Cowgirl by Justin Aaron Halle, in which a vintage feminist board game derails a wedding on a Wyoming ranch; Until the Day Is Done by Jared Michael Delaney, a heart-wrenching drama about a life-changing diagnosis; and Lessons by Matthew Chong, about a 16-year-old Korean American pianist driven to the brink by a sadistic mentor.

Performances are Friday (today!) at 7pm, Saturday (tomorrow!) at 2pm and 7pm. On Sunday at 2pm we're offering a brand new family friendly performance called Storyprov Time.

Tickets are $15 or $40 for a full festival pass. More info online at:
