Playwrights incubator concludes with performance
MARION – The Marion Art Center’s year-long Marion Art Center Theater Playwrights Incubator will conclude with a performance of the Attorney-in-Fact, a new play by Philip Ardell.
The play was honed over the course of the 2025-2026 season with the playwright and two mentors— Harvey Ussach and Tony Ferreira.
Mr. Ardell’s play was selected from over 60 submissions and resonated with the mentors. Both mentors have extensive experience in theater.
After a playwright is selected for the incubator program, the playwright works with two mentors over the course of 6 to 9 months to workshop the script.
A staged industry reading is then planned, where theater professionals attend and give constructive feedback.
The Attorney-in-Fact will be performed with full staging on May 8, 9 and 10 with curtain at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and a 2 p.m. curtain on Sunday.
There will be a talk back post-show with the playwright, creative team and cast.
Tickets are $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers.
The MAC’s Anne Braitmayer Webb Theater is located at 80 Pleasant St.
