Play festival features local writing talent

Producing an original play can be a lot of work. Try producing five.

Bourke Kennedy and the Second Stage wing of the Auburn Players are taking on the task this weekend. Despite the challenges that can come with world premiere festivals, the rewards are worth the work, Kennedy said.

“We've been really lucky with the people who have turned up to be part of this festival,” Kennedy said. “And the actors get to be in more than one show, so we're almost like a little repertoire company.”
