Playwrights Union hosts first Reading Festival

The Playwrights Union, a network of Los Angeles theater artists writing for stage, TV and film, hosts its first Reading Festival of New Work, May 6th through May 9th, at the Victory Theatre Center in Burbank.

Original plays were first drafted during a month-long writing challenge that nine member writers accepted in February. Plays have been finished or re-written in the weeks leading up to the Festival. Readings start at 6:30 pm, and a casual reception will take place on each evening at 8 pm, giving playwrights and audience members an opportunity to mix and mingle.
