TRU Voices New Plays Reading Series June 7, 2010

Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) announces the winning selections of the 2010 TRU Voices New Plays Reading Series. In a series that is unique because it develops new producers as well as new plays, three works were chosen from submissions by emerging or established producers, as well as from writers who hoped to be matched with a producer. Unusual this year is that all three plays selected are written and produced by women.

The selected plays will be read on Mondays, June 7, 14, and 21 at 7pm at The Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal Street (below W. 3rd Street), NYC. Admission is FREE but reservations are required at www.theplayerstheatre.com or by phone at 212-475-1449. Each reading will be followed by a reception and a “Dollars and Sense” panel on producing.

The plays chosen for the TRU Voices New Play Reading Series are: "Angels and Ministers of Grace Defend Us", a drama about grief, family, and forgiveness by Elaine Smith, produced by Wild Bird Productions’ Meredith Lucio; "Leni", about Leni Riefenstahl, Hitler’s notorious film director, by Pam Tate, produced by Sherry Eaker in association with Gina DeMayo; and "Cheese", a dark comic farce about secrets and family – and how to survive them both, by Laurel Ollstein, produced by Pat Flicker Addiss.
