The Museum of the American Printing House for the Blind will present a Festival of New Plays, all by playwrights who are blind or visually impaired, on Friday, March 13, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, March 14, at 1 p.m. The plays resulted from a series of playwriting workshops taught by Kentucky playwright and poet, Constance Alexander, at the Museum last fall.

This year's plays are, "The Dogalog," by Rick Roderick, "Milady Hero," by Barbara Henning, "A Fire's Definition," By Madelyn Lloyd, and "The Message That Wasn't There," by Dave Trevino.

All the plays in the Festival are presented as Readers Theater. There are no sets, no special lighting, and minimal costumes and props. The actors, who are all blind or visually impaired, read from embossed braille scripts. They use gestures appropriate for their characters and intonation appropriate for their characters’ words.
