Spring One Act Play Competition in Manhattan Announced

We loved your play and we would be thrilled if you would participate in our competition with your production.

--Manhattan Repertory Theatre--From an email dated Friday, March 18, 2011.


This play was performed originally last September for the Dream Up Festival at Theatre for the New City for an audience of 80 people.

BRIGHT IMAGES is a piercing rendition of a woman going mad and her unexpected salvation. A brother tries to save his sister's sight and sanity in rural America. It's hopeless until a blind woman comes on the scene and what is envisioned in her cloudy landscape softens the searing images that torment Alicia. An unusual and compelling play.

Running time is about 25 minutes.
