Annex Theater - 419 E. Oliver St.
2 nights - October 24th and 25th
An idea spontaneously conceived by Evan Moritz.
Several playwrights and directors from different cities will be directing a number of plays based on Hannah Barbara cartoons.
Robbie Bassler from Harrisonburg is directing Wacky Races.
The Gossip Factory is coming down from New York to do a state of the union satire of the Smurfs. http://www.thegossipfactory.org
Evan Moritz of the Annex Theatre in Baltimore is directing Snagglepuss.
Donna Sellinger (Missoula Oblongata) is doing Tom and Jerry with members of Wham City, a Baltimore-based art collective.
Kaitlin Murphy, Grace Bedwell, Owen Gardner, and Kristen Ripley are doing a puppet show of Space Ghost
Also featured will be Video work by Kevin Blackistone and Mark Brown (Wham City).
Members of the band Snacks, a circuit-bending comic noise group will do sound effects live for some of the shows, and they'll cap off the night with a 20 minute set.
As you can see, it's a hodge-podge event. The festival takes place at the Annex Theatre, an arts venue/warehouse space that has supported self-produced plays, traveling plays, huge music shows and festivals.
We're hoping to use this play festival as a nexus or focal point for a lot of the divergent acts we've been putting on.
