Anthony R Page's Somewhere in Summerville To Be a Part of the 2018 Atlanta Black Theatre Festival
(ATLANTA, GA.) Somewhere in Summerville, the third original full-length stage play written by Anthony R. Page has been accepted into the 2018 Atlanta Black Theatre Festival. This Festival, now in its 7th year, offers the nation's largest selection of world-class, Afro-centric theatre under one roof and has grown to be one of the most prestigious festivals in the South.
The Atlanta Black Theatre Festival will be held on October 3 – 6, 2018 at the Porter Sanford Performing Arts Center located at 3181 Rainbow Drive - Decatur, GA 30034.
MORE ABOUT THE PLAY:
Somewhere in Summerville is a ground-breaking new drama, with comedic elements, that looks deeply into the world of regional theater in the Southeast. The full-length production has 2 distinct storylines that examine the intra-diversity within the Black community, with characters that are sure to appeal to a wide audience. One of the unique attributes of this play is the opportunity to see actors transition into multiple characters across varying storylines.
The story and characters were inspired by Anthony's experiences doing local and regional theater throughout Georgia and South Carolina. As he states, “with a few of the productions, I have been a part of, there was often more drama behind the scenes than on the stage. So I began to write about some of those experiences and the end result is Somewhere in Summerville. It's honest, it's beautiful, enlightening and there are quite a few ah-ha and awe-sh #t moments.”
