The Emerging Voices Project, a source for enriching the Baltimore arts scene by introducing local writers and students as they unveil creative projects and receive feedback from a live audience, will conclude its 2016 season on Thursday, June 16 when the Dramatists Guild and Spotlight UB will present a staged reading of Still Point by Mark Scharf. The play, about the aftermath when half of a popular country-western duo suddenly leaves behind the fame and fortune, will take place in the Wright Theater in UB's Student Center, 21 W. Mt. Royal Ave., beginning at 7 p.m. It is free and open to the public.
Scharf is an actor and teacher as well as a playwright; his work has been performed in major U.S. cities, on college campuses, and internationally. He is currently the playwright-in-residence for Theatre Virginia's New Voices Program. The Dramatists Guild is a professional association that advances the interests of playwrights, composers, lyricists, and librettists. Again, Spotlight UB partners with Dramatists Guild representative Brent Englar, who will lead workshops for students in Prof. Jeffrey Hoover's Business of Being an Artist class this fall.
