Tickets for my show “Philosophus” at the Plaza Theatre of Wharton, TX are now on sale!

The show runs from February 22-February 24 as a special event at the theater… check it out!

I’m very happy to say that, as a result of my play “Philosophus” being one of three winners in the TNT POPS! 2018 New Play Contest, it will be published by Rebel Belle Publishing.

Rebel Belle Publishing is a Texas-based theatrical publishing company “specializing in plays and musicals that are great for community theaters.” Its goal is to “provide theaters with entertaining, marketable plays and musicals” with “catchy titles” and “affordable royalties” and that are also “easy to cast.”

I am thrilled to have “Philosophus” included in Rebel Belle’s catalogue of plays and hope that it finds its ways into more community theaters in the US! It’s great to find a publishing firm that concentrates so exclusively and enthusiastically on bringing new works and local theaters together… what a great combination!

I have detailed in a prior post that my historical farce “Philosophus” was one of three finalists in the 2018 TNT POPS! New Play Competition, where it was slated to be produced by a member theatre of Texas Nonprofit Theatres.

Today, I am happy to report that “Philosophus” will be produced by Plaza Theatre, a wonderful theater in the city of Wharton, TX, which serves as the county seat of Wharton County.

The Plaza Theatre is the community theatre of Wharton. Their “central location and excellent accessibility help (them) attract audience and performers from throughout the region, including the nearby counties of Victoria, Fort Bend, Matagorda, Colorado, Brazoria, and Jackson.” The theatre building previously served as a hotel and then was converted into a movie theater in 1942, also named the “Plaza Theatre.” The movie theater itself lasted for over three decades before closing down in the 1970’s and then reopening as a live entertainment venue in 1990, courtesy of the Community Theater of Wharton.

“Philosophus” will be directed by Trace Morris and play one weekend, from February 22-February 24th.
