Description

This March Town & Country Players will showcase four World Premiere Full-Length Plays as part of their 2021 Signature Series. The Signature Series focuses on producing original works and this year the nationwide call went out for submissions of full-length original plays. The theater received 106 submissions from playwrights across the country. The entries were read by the six members of the Signature Series Committee and the committee selected four plays to be presented by the Theater as virtual readings. March 7: The Sexton written by David Rousculp, Funeral Director from New Haven, IN tells the story of frustrated souls trapped in their graves whose luck changes when the new sexton can see and hear them. March 14: Backstage Fairytale written by Michael John McGoldrick of Jersey City, NJ is a romantic comedy about a writer who meets up with his former lover, now a famous New York actor, to reveal he's written a play about her. March 21: Cozy Murder written by Judy Klass, Professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN is a murder mystery set in a small-town Maine Bed & Breakfast during a summer mystery play festival. March 28: Miss Woodhouse Presents by Kayla Hambek of Minneapolis, MN is inspired by Emma Woodhouse, the main character in Jane Austen's 1815 novel, Emma. Set in modern day, Miss Woodhouse is the star of her own TV show where she gives opinions on the love lives of several other beloved Jane Austen characters. The plays are being presented free of charge, but viewers must request an access link by emailing [email protected]. After each reading there will be a discussion held with the directors, performers and playwright (if present). The theater will accept donations to its "The Show Must Go On" fund at https://townandcountryplayers.org/donate.html#Show. Town & Country is located on Route 263 in Buckingham, PA and is currently in its 74th season. More information about the theater and the Signature Series can be found at www.townandcountryplayers.org.
