VPI provides a venue for the playwright to workshop, rewrite and rehearse a new script with a company of experienced actors, a director and a dramaturg.</p> <p>The reading will start at 7pm; come a minute or so early to mingle and chat and share a snack, and stay after for the very important "Aftertalk" in which the playwright will hear what you, the audience, got from his reading. </p> <p>The second step, an actor reading, will happen within the next couple of weeks; the workshopping/staging part of the process will happen in the spring to give the playwright time for rewriting. </p> <p>Please join the collaboration.</p> <p>The Virginia Playwrights Initiative is made possible in part by grants from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the BAMA Fund.</p> http://www.hamnertheater.com/VPI_Gunter#comments Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:19:37 -0500 http://www.hamnertheater.com/Cabaret09/HIT <div class="start">Start: 01/17/2009 - 18:30</div> <div class="end">End: 01/17/2009 - 22:00</div> <p><hr><br /> <h1> Hamner Improv Troupe</h1> <p><hr></p> <p>HIT and hit - experts in mops that scuba-dive...long-lost sisters on the hundredth floor having emotional sea changes...a western movie about eggplant parmesian...bowling with goldfish...come be part of the fun and watch your zany suggestions be incorporated into impromptu scenes by the Hamner Improv Troupe, Varsity and JV.
