June 5, 2024This Week’s “Morning Show” Features:
The Playwrights Collaborative with
Jack Rushton and Camille Garro
This week I have the pleasure of talking to two playwrights and theater lovers, Co-founder of The Playwrights Collaborative (TPC) Jack Rushton and Steering Committee member Camille Garro.
I’ll be talking with Jack and Camille about TPC’s origins in 2012 as a group of actors, directors, and playwrights devoted to producing new stage plays, starting out with the Actors Studio of Newburyport (TASN) as home base, for which they produced numerous plays, including 5 National Short Play Festivals, the proceeds of which benefitted TASN.
Camille and Jack will discuss how TPC has grown in size from 15 to 50 members, and has expanded the range of locations served and types of arts and cultural organizations where they stage productions. Recent venues have included the Custom House Maritime Museum, the Chelmsford Center for the Arts, and the Nashoba Players, with an upcoming performance planned for July 20th at the Exeter Public Library.
Throughout, TPC remains true to what Jack describes as their mission, “to benefit host-venues by providing great theater to their audiences and patrons, all the while giving all of our members a chance to shine.” They continue their practice of donating proceeds to the host venues.
