Howl Pop-Up Festival at Plan Bee Brewery

Howl Playwrights, the Hudson Valley theater company dedicated to developing bold new work, will continue its 10th anniversary season with a weekend of staged readings at Plan Bee Farm Brewery, featuring three original plays by regional playwrights.
The weekend's readings showcase the range of voices and stories that have become a hallmark of Howl's programming.
On Saturday, July 18 at 2:00 p.m., Howl presents The General by Katherine Burger. Set in the 1990s, this comedy follows a mother and her two adult daughters as they grapple with family history in the wake of a death, discovering unexpected pathways toward understanding and reconciliation.
The reading will be directed by Katherine Burger and feature Jane Ives as Arlene, Lori Wilner as Ellie, Molly Meyers as Dulcie, and Jamie Watson reading stage directions.
Following at 2:30 p.m. is Ode to Aubrey by Dwight Watson. In her search to align the stars and find her mother, ten-year-old Aubrey discovers an unlikely companion and embarks on a journey that reveals the possibility of friendship, wonder, and a perfectly plotted "Flight Plan."
Directed by Dwight Watson, the reading features Danielle Frimer as Aubrey, Norm Magnusson as Billy, and Jamie Watson reading stage directions.
The weekend concludes on Sunday, July 19 at 2:00 p.m. with Conversation Design by Danielle Frimer, a timely and provocative new play about three conversation designers—the people who teach artificial intelligence how to speak—whose lives and friendships evolve alongside the technology they help create. The play explores female friendship, artistic identity in the age of AI, and the unintended consequences of technological innovation.
The reading will be directed by Allie Moss and feature Marianna McClellan as Chloe, Em Sarpa as Sam, Carli Rhoades as Helen, and Lex Powell as Stage Directions/Playtester.
Now in its tenth season, Howl Playwrights continues gathering artists and audiences together to experience new work in a live setting. Earlier this year, the company's festival Howl at the Center drew enthusiastic audiences to The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck.
The event is free, and please enjoy the many delights offered at the lovely Plan Bee Brewery and Farm!
