Pull back the curtain for an intimate view of the playmaking process! Penfold has collected scripts in development by rising stars in the Central Texas playwriting community and will be teasing them to audiences in a series of play readings throughout the spring and summer. Join us at the Round Rock Public Library’s beautiful new downtown campus while we nurture local voices, enjoy an up-close evening of laughter and surprise, and support Penfold’s new home in Round Rock set to open this fall!
Anton Checkhov is a Tasty Snack: A small Austin theater company with big ambitions decides to mount the best dang production of Chekhov’s The Seagull that this town has ever seen. But as the rehearsal process draws on for months, art imitates life imitating art and the whole cast goes increasingly around the bend. A wildly fast-and-loose adaptation of The Seagull, Jenny Connell Davis’s new comedy takes on the absurdity of making theater.
