PT’s annual fests spices up the stultifying summer
Phoenix Theatre’s annual New Works Festival has become one of the few pleasant and edifying experiences in a stifling, largely theater-free summer. This year, the festival -- founded by playwright Richard Warren and director Mark DeMichele -- kicks off with staged readings of Black River (Friday, July 10, through Sunday, July 12), a play by Ken Ludwig about a man and woman who turn up in small-town Georgia under mysterious circumstances. It’s followed by Ben Sahl’s The Weight of Breath (Friday, July 17, and Saturday, July 18), a postmodern comedy about a teen whose parents keep busting up and getting back together.
