UVA Drama’s New Works Festival treats audiences to a varied collection of short works, ranging from drama to farce, that explore everything from workplace woes to matters of the heart. The pithy plays are written, directed, designed, and performed by students. Travel back in time to regency-era England in Becca Davis’ The Sapphire Hyacinth, follow along as a couple navigate a breakup in Mary Hall’s Running Out of Time, sit in on a PTA meeting at a private school in Abby Milne’s Karens, and more.
$5, 8pm. Helms Theatre, 109 Culbreth Rd. drama.virginia.edu
Free news is good news!
Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
