Synopsis: LBSC’s 2025 New Works Festival kicks off with a trio of staged readings of new plays by local university students. In Film Study by Zachary Scrima, what looks to be a typical college film study class is actually a deep-dive into the hit 2000’s song ‘Stacy’s Mom.’ In Ripples on a Blank Shore by Stryder Larsen, a mother goes to visit her estranged father, sharing a difficult conversation with him as he struggles with terminal illness in a hospice care facility. In Stage Exit by Grady Monroe, Members of an acting class and their teacher struggle to free themselves from the room they are trapped in.
The Argument: Have you ever dreamt of a story and characters that you thought would never have the opportunity to see come to life on the stage?Those stories, lost in years of imagination can be found at the Helen Borgers 2025 New Works Festival. The time is right to see your show, your lost dreams, on our stage!
