Missed Ourglass this year? You have a second chance to see 1/6 of it tomorrow (Wed) and Saturday night, as Jackie Julie, Alex Pires, and Sarah Medved reprise their roles in "Grandma's Globe," written by Philip Kaplan and directed by Roy Koshy, in Manhattan Repertory Theatre's 10-Minute Play Contest! http://manhattanrep.com/10-minute-play-contest-series-2-august-2016/

Fun fact: this is the second straight year that Philip Kaplan's Ourglass play has subsequently been produced indoors in NYC. His Ourglass 2015 play, "Strays," ran at the T. Schreiber Theater this past January. Congratulations to Philip and the rest of the "Grandma's Globe" team!

Congratulations to playwright Philip Kaplan, whose short play, "Strays," is being produced as part of T. Schreiber Theatre's upcoming short play festival! http://tschreiber.org/shreibers-shorts/

"Strays" was written in less than 12 hours, and had its premiere this summer in Ft. Tryon Park, as part of Open Tent's Ourglass 2015: A Play-in-a-Day Festival. The performance starred Danny Hoffman and Brigid Warnke, and was directed by Chelsea Anderson-Long. Join us next summer for Ourglass 2016, and catch more new work before the general public!
