Feuchtwanger Re-Freshed #2

School of Dramatic Arts, via the Western Edge Playwrights' Salon of the school's Master of Fine Arts in Dramatic Writing, the USC Libraries Feuchtwanger Collection and Villa Aurora present:

FEUCHTWANGER RE-FRESHED #2:

Graduate playwrights and their instructors will present short scenes inspired by Feuchtwanger's works. Actors include students from USC's BFA program, recent graduates, and former head of MFA Acting Andrew Robinson.

What happens to great ideas that never get the chance to grow into stories? Feuchtwanger collected long lists of ideas for novels and plays that he intended to write, but was unable to get to in his busy lifetime. The USC MFA Dramatic Writing playwrights have taken five of these ideas and turned them into short plays, bringing Feuchtwanger back to life in our own complex time.

The show will be followed by a reception.
