Stage 5 Theatre was just invited to the opening of a new Play to be opened this October in Columbia, South Carolina. We are always glad to see new talent and new playwrights and new scripts coming to Columbia. This particular play was encouraged, assisted and formed at Stage 5 Theatre with the fantastic genius of Michael Bailey, Stage 5 Theatre's then Artistic Director. Stage 5 has a contract with the playwright to Review the Play prior to it being produced by Anyone in the Theatre community. We also have the Right's to "First Refusal" and acknowledgement of our help in bringing this work and play to the World. We are proud of the playwright for finishing the work after we had worked with her for over a Year and had stage readings and Creative input during that time. In addition our contract with this playwright requires a notation on all playbills that Stage 5 was instrumental in bringing this play to audiences. This needs to be addressed and we will let you all know how it goes. We wish the very best to this play and playwright in all her endeavors. More to come, l am sure. Charles Chavers, President and Productions Director of Stage 5 Theatre.
