Axial Playwrights

 

AXIAL PLAYWRIGHTS is a program for playwrights to have their new one act or full length work read and discussed for development purposes by Axial's ensemble and special guests. Classic plays are also read to give our ensemble members an opportunity to exhibit and develop their craft. We are proud to share that playwright and former Artistic Director of "Shades Repertory Theatre" will be leading a monthly series of private development readings for playwrights.

The Poetry Project

The Poetry Project  is a yearly project made as an outside-the-box short film production.  

 

Axial Theatre has co-produced a short film directed by Cady McClain titled "Robust Admixture" - compiled from work by Westchester poet Laureate B.K. Fischer's novella of poems, "Ceive." The film shares the power of poetry to inspire works of art that bring awareness to the issues of climate change, gun violence, and viral pandemics.

 

The film is now in post-production.
