Telluride Playwrights Festival: an "Evening of Gossip"
kicker: at Telluride's Steaming Bean Wednesday, June 8, 2011, 8 pm
Is gossip good or bad for the soul? Does it lengthen your life or shorten it? The Telluride Playwrights Festival explores what exactly is the nature of gossip and why do we so like to gossip? Where does gossip end and propaganda begin?
A group of local actors explore the subject, taking their clue from the Bible to Shakespeare to Star Magazine. In addition, local writers such as Bob Rubadeau, Jeff Price, Rob Schultheis, Devin McCarthy, John Sutcliffe all have something interesting to say on the subject.
The Telluride Playwrights Festival brings playwrights and actors to town once a year to explore and workshop new plays by acclaimed playwrights from all over the country. This year, the Playwrights Festival has decided to expand the spirit of the Festival, which starts mid-July, to an early beginning on Wednesday, June 8.
