TCR Underground New Play Festival Announces Playwrights, Scripts, and Directors

Cedar Rapids - With over 40 of the highest quality scripts submitted to date, this made decisions very difficult. In its fifth year, TCR’s Underground New Play Festival features the work of playwrights who are from Iowa and/or have a connection to Iowa. Past years have included short plays, one-acts, and full-length comedies and dramas. Additionally, new directors and actors are encouraged to apply and audition for the festival, making this event as fresh and interesting as anything that we do at TCR.

We are proud to announce the following scripts, playwrights, and directors to be produced during the festival at TCR's Grandon Studio October 2-12, 2014:

• A Midterm Night's Dream by Laura Schmidt, Directed by Steve Worthington
