Festival presents a tremendous opportunity to take in a lot of plays. Besides the productions staged on the "main stage"--which are generally high tech, costume and set intensive, and full-length plays and musicals, there are shorter, "easier" plays produced in the Chapter Select Showcase. These are also staged by various Thespian troupes and chapters, and generally achieve a wholly-satisfactory degree of stage-craft and interest. They are also shorter and, because of the limitations on set and tech intensity, use more imagination and innovation in the presentations.
This year, the Chapter Select Showcase (based on the tentative schedule) will include:
SEASCAPE WITH SHARKS AND DANCER, by Don Nigro (Troupe 1849, Iowa)
THE SQUARE, by Mark Wallace (Troupe 5084, Arizona)
