After light refreshments, Port Townsend Deputy Mayor Kris Nelson will make presentations to writers Deborah Daline, Henry Feldman, David Hundhausen, Jack O’Connor, Deborah Wiese and D.D. Wigley, whose one-act plays will premiere during the festival March 6-16.
Daline’s “Somebodies & Sylvia,” Feldman’s “It’s Just Coffee,” Wigley’s “Field Guide,” Hundhausen’s “Night of Intrigue,” O’Connor’s “People Small” and Wiese’s “Funeral Home, The Musical” will all come to the stage of the Key City Playhouse or the Pope Marine Building in downtown Port Townsend during the Festival of New Plays.
