It Happened One Summer

March 17 – March 18, 2011 at 7:00pm

10 emerging playwrights who participated the La MaMa Umbria’s 4th International Playwright Retreat will be showcased in La MaMa Umbria Festival of New Plays in New York.

These exciting, new plays include both comedies and dramas and are acted by some of the most talented actors in New York, many of them members of The HB Ensemble group. Participating directors not only get the chance to work with emerging playwrights, but to explore new genres and expand their own resumes.

The founder of La MaMa, the late Ellen Stewart, would typically appear onstage before a performance, ring a cowbell and announce La MaMa’s dedication “to the playwright and all aspects of the theater.” This festival is dedicated to her spirit of risk-taking and promoting new work for the stage.
