Monday - Thursday, performances will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be followed by an in-depth discussion of the work (audience feedback is encouraged after each reading), led by festival chairman, Dr. Brian Haimbach and playwright-in-residence, Deborah Brevoort.
Friday, October 22 at 7:00 p.m., playwright-in-residence,
Deborah Brevoort will discuss playwriting and what it means to script development when a new script is performed as a staged reading. Then at 7:30 a staged reading of her play The Poetry of Pizza will be presented, followed by a reception.
Tonight's staged reading will be Dreams of Angels by Robert E. Jamison, beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Set against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960's, a young radical journeys down the road of self discovery amidst the Vietnam War, hippie culture, and the sexual revolution.
A resident of South Carolina for the past thirty-four years, Robert E. Jamison has always had a life-long interest in the arts. Several of M
R. Jamison's plays have had readings in the Upstate, including Turkeys as part of the 2008 Cultural Arts Series at Tri-County Technical College, and the production of several ten-minute plays by the Lost Playwrights of NC. M
R. Jamison now has more time to devote to playwriting since he gratefully retired as a professor of discrete mathematics from Clemson University.
