Making the Playwright the Star
Every year, the
Inge Festival honors a playwright who's body of work has had a
profound impact on the American Theatre. Our National advisory
Board, including all of our past honorees are included in the decision
making process. The William Inge Theatre Festival's capstone
event, each year, is an amazing Multi-Media tribute to our
Distinguished
Achievement in American Theatre
honoree.
Conceived,
written and directed by award-winning filmmaker, Mike Wood, this
one-time presentation includes narration, live performances with guest
stars, hundreds
of slides, video clips from shows and interviews with the honoree and
dozens of their collaborators. It is a truly unique presentation
which has left many of our honorees speechless or in tears.
Next year's Tribute honors great American
playwright, screenwriter, novelist and book writer for musicals,
Arthur Laurents. The Tribute takes place Saturday, April
24, 2004 at 7:30 PM at Memorial Hall in downtown Independence.
