‘Scenes from the Staten Island Ferry 2022′ – six plays by six playwrights will be staged in March

For this year’s version of “Scenes,” playwrights from throughout the United States submitted scripts that incorporated this year’s theme of “anniversary” or “celebration,” which corresponds with Sundog’s 20th anniversary. Six were chosen for a financial award and a staged production.

“We are very excited to be celebrating Sundog’s 20th anniversary as a company, as well as presenting the ferry plays for 20 years,” said Sundog Executive Director Susan Fenley. “The project has developed an audience following, some of whom have been with us since the very beginning where the plays went from writing to showtime in 24 hours.”

Directors for “Scenes from the Staten Island Ferry 2022″ are Barbara Brandt, Louisa Gallanda, Hadly Patterson, Craig Stoebling, Ken Tirado and Diane Zerega. Producer is Susan Fenley, tech director is Stephen Fehr, production stage manager is Katie Scibelli, with graphic design by Angela Pelletier.
