TheatreWorks Silicon Valley is showcasing potential hits in the making at its 17th annual New Works Festival.
Continuing through Sunday, Aug. 19, with top Bay Area actors, it features staged readings of four musicals and plays plus other events.
A highlight is Paul Gordon’s musical adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” which opened to a nearly full house Aug. 11.
Directed by Robert Kelley and accompanied by musical director William Liberatore on piano, the actors read from scripts on a bare bones stage. Festival director Giovanna Sardelli said this crew assembled only five days prior to the performance, yet it went smoothly.
Also on tap are plays “They Promised Her the Moon” by Laurel Ollstein and “Born in East Berlin” by Rogelio Martinez; another musical, “Once Upon a Rhyme” by Ronvé O’Daniel; and other events.
Everything takes place at the Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto. For tickets and details visit theatreworks.org or call 463-1960.
