New Playwright Festival at Vero Voce

Vero Voce Theater previews newly
written plays in St Charles



(ST CHARLES) Vero Voce Theater, St Charles, is proud to announce its upcoming
"New Playwright Festival!" The production will offer up- and- coming
playwrights the opportunity to have their one act plays produced and performed
on Vero Voce's live stage. 



"As an
actor and a writer, I understand how difficult it can be to find a venue to
produce your show, especially if it's only a one act," says David M.
Rodriguez, Artistic Director of Vero Voce's Theatre Company "This is
something I always wished people would do for me, so we figured why not give that opportunity to writers out there."

Thursday – Saturday at 8:00 pm and Sunday at 3:00 pm at Vero Voce, 951 State
Avenue, Suite F, St Charles, Illinois. 



“We are very proud to present these new plays written by
local playwrights.” said Dennis Brown, producer of the shows. “The quality and
intensity of the majority of these plays is astounding. While we are giving the
playwrights and outlet for their hard work, we are also presenting our
audiences with some excellent material.”
