Finnigan's Festival of Funky Fresh Fun will feature the work of nine local playwrights, nine local directors, and 14 local cast members.
The festival includes Ben Unwin's Sympathy for the Techo, which deals with a disco light, used during a party, that is cursed. Kate Barry's Mixtape Warfare, meanwhile, shows two scientists attempting to figure out a manifesto left on a mixtape. Also, daughters, daddys, and bachelor parties are the subjects of Todd Zeigler's Talk is Cheap (everything else is negotiable).
Other plays include Footnotes from David J. Loehr, The Reception by Carlos Manuel, Autofill from Ted Chitwood, Going Through the Motions by Mike Brooks, Beak Water by Sherry R. Deatrick, and Latch/Gem from Finnigan artistic director Brian Walker.
