An eclectic mix of nine never seen before comedies and dramas will debut

Brand New Shorts, Westchester Collaborative Theaters (WCT) latest 10-minute play festival directed by Ossining resident Nathan Flower, associate arts professor at NYUs Tisch Drama, will run weekends from Friday, July 19 through Saturday, July 27. An eclectic mix of zany, offbeat comedy and thought-provoking drama, the production will showcase nine never seen before plays by local playwrights, all members of Westchester Collaborative Theater. Performances will be at WCTs Black Box Theater, 23 Water Street in Ossining, New York.

This festival goes to the heart of what WCT is all about, giving audiences an opportunity to view an assortment of the wonderful plays that emerge following our intensive development and dramaturge process, says WCT Executive Director Alan Lutwin of Ossining. WCT members Donna L. White of Pleasantville and Peter Andrews of Mahopac are co-producing the show with Lutwin; Julia LaVerde of Irvington is stage manager.

Showtimes are Fridays, July 19 and 26 at 8 pm; Saturdays July 20 and 27 at 2 pm and 8 pm; and Sunday, July 21 at 3 pm. The July 21 performance will be followed by a talk-back with the playwrights and director.  Tickets are $25; $20 discount tickets are available for WCT members, students, seniors and groups of 5+ and may be ordered on the WCT website www.wctheater.org.
