TeCo Theatrical Productions Sets Lineup for DOWN FOR #THECOUNT Festival

TeCo Theatrical Productions, Inc. is excited to announce its inaugural Down For #TheCount play festival that gives a platform to female voices. Production dates are February 26 through March 6, 2016, 7:30 p.m. nightly for two consecutive weekends with a preview night on Thursday, February 25th at the Bishop Arts Theatre Center.

The event was inspired by the Dramatists Guild of America and Lilly Awards' study on the underrepresentation of women voices on American stages. Down For #TheCount will feature notable national and local playwrights including two-time Obie award winner and Tony award nominee Charlayne Woodard. The selection process was by invitation only.

Charlayne Woodard's Phenom, a regional premiere.

Vicki Caroline Cheatwood's Breathing Room, premiered Off-Broadway in "Cowgirl Chronicles" in Six Figures Theatre Company's Artists of Tomorrow Series at the West End Theater.
