“An Afternoon of Play Readings” Promises a Theatrical Delight

The Marco Island Arts Center Theatre is thrilled to announce an "An Afternoon of Play Readings" on August 27, at 3:00 PM, showcasing the creative talents of two local playwrights. The featured play readings will be from:

"Other Priorities" - Written by Leslie Sanderson and Directed by Marilee Warner

"Infrequent Flyers" - Written by Leslie Sanderson and Directed by Marilee Warner

"Famlet" - Written by Alex Costello and Directed by Mitch Eil

"An Afternoon of Play Readings" celebrates the rich tapestry of local creativity, offering a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the distinctive perspectives of these talented playwrights. The featured play, "Other Priorities" penned by Leslie Sanderson, delves into the moral apathy toward gun control and school safety while "Infrequent Flyers," explores the intricacies of human interactions in an overcrowded flight that places a no-frills passenger and her service animal alongside a full-price passenger that tests the limits of goodwill and airline regulations. Under the skilled direction of Marilee Warner, these performances are set to come alive on stage with remarkable depth and emotion.

The charming play, "Famlet," written by the playwright Alex Costello, offers a fresh take on family dynamics with textual inspiration and excerpts from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Guided by the insightful direction of Mitch Eil, this performance is sure to leave audiences reflecting on the intricacies and humor of domestic life.

"We are proud to showcase the talents of area playwrights, directors, and actors in this special event," said Arts Center Theatre and Marco Island Center for the Arts Executive Director, Hyla Crane.
