Hamilton Arts Festival Playwright Showcase - ABIGAIL by Sarah Tuft

The Paterson Performing Arts Development Council (PPADC) is proud to present its Hamilton Arts Festival Playwright Showcase ABIGAIL, written by Sarah Tuft, the second place winner of the PPADC 2020 Show Me The Monologue Playwriting Competition. Directed by Kristen Penner, the virtual play stars Linus Gelber, Isabella Chang, Steph Van Vlack, and Kevin Allen. ABIGAIL tells the story of a renowned stage actress who hires her Hollywood director husband to helm an American theater classic—Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible—on Broadway. But when he insists on casting a YouTube star to play the lead Abigail Williams, her objection to the role’s misogyny threatens to unpin the play and all its players. A portrait of an older woman’s complicity and a younger woman’s disruption. ABIGAIL is a dramatic play that examines our #METOO culture and reverence for icons that perpetuates a cycle of predatory behavior.ABIGAIL is a 2021 O'Neil and 2020 Ashland Finalist.Once your purchase your ticket you will receive a link to join this ZOOM Presentation on June 17, 24 hours prior to the viewing.
