A few months ago I was pleasantly surprised when I was notified that a play that I wrote had been selected to be in Trinity Theater’s New Works Festival. There were 1,011 submissions and nine plays selected for staged readings during the recent festival – April 30 through May 3. Many thanks to the staff at Trinity and to the four delightful actors who read the script.
“Nothing But the Truth” is a full-length comedic play set in the community room of a library – one suggests a game of “Never Have I Ever”, forcing them to contemplate the choices they have made. Who will win – or should that be – who will lose? Will it be the recent widower, the retired librarian, the volunteer or the aging athlete? Secrets are revealed that change their future. With lively dialog and red herrings, spend some time with Louise, Randall, Terry and Ben as they get to know more than they bargained for.
The reading was great! I was able to hear the words for the first time in front of a live audience. Found out where the laugh lines were. No major changes will be made – just a minor tweak to the ending.
