At Drunken Owl, we’ll celebrate Family Dysfunction Month by reading plays by Anna Tatleman, Josephine Fogle-Rain, Scott Stolnack, and John C. Davenport. Poets Lori…

Our beloved Pamela Hobart Carter, who wears so many hats, usually writes our line-up in her beautiful handwriting on our dry-erase board. She’s away this evening, so we’re trying something different, posting the line-up here. Enjoy the show! Music by the Bard Owls (Phil Kelley – Bass, David Sorey – keyboards, Brent Sindelar – guitar,…

We return to our monthly format on Sunday 10/’15 at 6:00 pm, reading plays by John C. Davenport, Kate Danley, Margaret O’ Donnell and Scott Stolnack. We’ll hear from poets Lori Bellamy, Katerina Canyon, and Kevin Harrang, and the Bard Owls will play a few tunes, maybe with a special guest!

Our third full production dips into history as we explore Jules Maes, the Man and the Myth. Peering through different lenses, playwrights Leonie Mikele, Thomas Pierce, Elena Naskova, Mike Hickey and Pamela Hobart Carter provide several glimpses of what the unofficial Mayor of Georgetown meant to his community. We’ll feature poetry by Judith Camann, Scott…

If you attended July’s show, you know that in August we’re trying something entirely new: the absence of Kevin Finney! Peter Murray will be your emcee and host while Kevin travels with family. We’ll read plays by Thomas Pierce, Robin Ellen Brooks, Ellen Davis Sullivan and John C. Davenport. Mike Hickey returns with his own…

Kevin Finney rehearsing “Staging,” by Kate Danley. Our show was a hit! Many thanks to Clay Eals for recording and editing video of our production on June 24th and 25th.
