As we continue our mission to produce new and original comedies in a
professional setting, highlighting the talents of North Texas theatre
artists, we are pleased to announce our second annual new play
festival, Fresh Reads, at the Bath House Cultural Center May 17-26,
2018!All plays selected for the festival will be juried by the Pegasus
Theatre Artistic Director as well as Pegasus Theatre veterans and
audience members to determine a festival winner.
These are the selected plays for this year:
“OUR SPACE” by Caroline Turner Cole explores the use of social
media by bringing to the stage some unlikely characters -- Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter and others lead the audience through the digital
world, exploring daily life through a new and interesting lens. A
surreal and yet surprisingly realistic look at how constant
“connection” can work in reverse to break down relationships. A
demanding and exciting ensemble piece!
PRESENTED MAY 18 & 24
“ASYLUM IN GEORGIA” by John C. Davenport - Pauletta, an
anchorwoman at a Texas TV station, comes to the tiny Georgia town of
Throckmorton to resolve some issues while she's at a crossroads in her
life. She’s on “administrative leave” from her job, she’s
gotten through her second divorce, and she has just dropped off her
son to start college. But the big questions have to do with a pile of
bricks in Throckmorton that will soon be part of a resort. Was that a
mental asylum her father built ... and ultimately destroyed?
PRESENTED MAY 19 & 25
“THE NIGHT WE BOMBED LINCOLN TOWING” by Steven Young - You’ve
been towed…get as angry as you wish, you will pay the man. In the
most horrendous rainstorm in Chicago history, six eccentric
individuals are left stranded in a bar after the notorious and corrupt
Lincoln Towing hauls away their vehicles. This motley group must first
overcome their differences before they take revenge on their common
enemy.
