Giving Georgia Playwrights a Voice on Georgia's Stage.

In 2009, the Essential Theatre Festival is being held at Actor's Express in the King Plow Arts Center.

The festival, performed in rotating repertory, includes:

FOOD FOR FISH by Adam Szymkowicz - Regional Premiere - A comedy about longing that explores the interesting comical shifts in our perspectives of what men and women are supposed to be. "Fabulously weird and weirdly fabulous." - New York Times

ICE GLEN by Joan Ackermann - Regional Premiere - A wonderfully funny romantic drama about a poet who doesn't want her work to be published. "Beautifully written" - Talkin' Broadway. "A lovely play" - CurtainUp

JIM CROW AND THE RHYTHM DARLINGS by Vynnie Mell - World Premiere - A powerful and provocative drama about an all-female jazz band touring the Deep South during World War II. Winner of the 2009 Essential Theatre Playwriting Award.

The festival runs from July 5th through August 2, 2009.

Tickets are $15 - $22 and may be purchased at Essential Theatre or 404-607-SHOW (7469)
