About the Series:
The Media Arts Council (MAC) Play Reading Series was created by playwrights Julie Zaffarano, Dave Ebersole, and Keenya Jackson, in partnership with the MAC to create a space for local playwrights to hear their work read by talented actors and receive feedback from a public audience. The only regular new play reading series in the area, it brings exciting new stories to Delaware County.
Playwrights, actors, and directors who are interested in being involved in the series should Dave Ebersole, Keenya Jackson, or Julie Zaffarano at macplayreadingseries20@gmail.com. Due to the limited budget for this project, we are unable to offer actors or directors a stipend through the MAC.
