Playwright festival starts next weekend
South Coast Repertory is launching yet another world premiere this weekend as part of the ninth annual Pacific Playwrights Festival.
Officially scheduled for May 5 to 7, the festival includes the already-opened world premiere of Christopher d’Amboise’s “The Studio” in the Segerstrom Theater and this weekend’s first look at “Blue Door” by Tanya Barfield on the Julianne Argyros Stage.

The other five plays in the festival will be showcased in staged readings. They include:
