When the PlayFest programming committee first read

When the PlayFest programming committee first read "Heartbeat" by playwright Alex Riad, we knew we had something special. A Juilliard graduate, Alex brought depth, sensitivity and honesty to a story about a couple facing the most difficult decision of their young lives. Actors Layan Elwazani and Zachary William Desmond captivated audiences. We can't wait to see what these three talented artists do next.

Is there such a thing as the perfect cast? Yes, according to playwright, Bill Ludel. Both readings of Bill's play at the 2023 festival, "Dr. Arthur Goldman's Birthday Party," sold out -- unprecedented in PlayFest's history. His perfect cast included Richard Kind, Wendie Malick, Ray Abruzzo and Emily Goss -- and boy, did they make magic. Many thanks also to @hypenhill who served as the voice of the operating room nurse.

Some plays stick with you long after you leave a t

Some plays stick with you long after you leave a theatre. "237 Virginia Avenue" by playwright David Myers is one such play. Actors @glenn_morshower and @jackmikesell brought this complex play to life. Arts journalist Judith Reynolds said this of the play: "Alternating scenes from American history and present time, the play focused on themes of power, masculinity, generational conflict and, most searingly, American values." Actor @jasonlythgoe served as the stage directions reader.

Molly Carden, playwright and actor, won the hearts

Molly Carden, playwright and actor, won the hearts of festival attendees. Her play, "I Came Back for Molly," was voted favorite play by more than 57 percent of attendees who answered our survey. We can't wait to see where your play goes from here! (Pictured with playwright Alex Riad, who moderated the talkback with the audience after the performance.)
