Hudson Valley New Voices Festival: Vintage Voices Reading


From May 20 through June 20 Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT) is presenting its inaugural Hudson Valley New Voices (HVNV) Festival, a trio of programs showcasing new works by new voices – young people, seniors, and persons of color.

HVNV continues June 4-6 with Vintage Voices, featuring dramatic works by seniors. The festival concludes June 18 – 20 with Voices of Color, featuring original plays by writers who identify as People of Color. WCT Executive Director Alan Lutwin and Nathan Flower are co-producers. Flower is directing Gen Z Outloud; WCT actor/instructor Christine Fonsale Rogerson is producing Vintage Voices; WCT writer Misha Templar Sinclair and WCT Co-Administrator Melissa Nocera are co-producing Voices of Color. Voices of Color is dedicated to the memory of WCT writer/director/actor Joe Albert Lima who died last year. Each series of readings will feature actors of all ages from WCT’s company of actors as well as actors across the Hudson Valley Region.

Vintage Voices will feature stories from the lives of senior participants, which they have developed into dramatic works. Fonsale Rogerson’s organization, Living Stories, offers programming based on the nationally recognized therapeutic arts program, Life Stories TM. “I am thrilled to take part in the Hudson Valley New Voices Festival with Vintage Voices”, says Fonsale Rogerson. “The opportunity to work with seniors in telling stories from their lives is one I have looked forward to for years. The older generation has such a wealth of experience to draw from and much to share with all of us. The individuals participating in Vintage Voices are truly remarkable.”

 

Vintage Voices will be broadcast Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5 at 8 pm and on Sunday, June 6 at 3 pm.
