Big surprises come in small boxes!
HOWL Playwrights present: Howl in the Black Box—RESIST! 3 bold evenings of staged readings on themes of resistance! October 3-5 in the Black Box at the Center for the Performing Arts in Rhinebeck.
Howl Playwrights celebrates its tenth year with a bold evening of staged readings exploring the theme of resistance. Nine new plays—ranging from detention center nightmares to TikTok apocalypses and subversive fairy tales—offer surprising visions of survival, defiance, and connection. Highlights include Martina Deignan’s No Warning, a harrowing story of immigration injustice; Dean Temple’s The Fifth Horseperson, where teenage distraction becomes world-ending; Paul Allman’s satirical Collecto-mania Caravan; and David Simpatico’s darkly comic Gretal and Hansel. An unforgettable night of theatre in resistance.
