Seven playwrights. Seven actors. Seven deadly sins. Join Wasatch Theatre Company as they celebrate their annual Page-to-Stage Festival, featuring original short scripts by local playwrights. For their 14th consecutive year of highlighting new work, Wasatch mixed things up a little with how the festival came together. As is typical, playwrights were selected through the submission of a writing sample. Once chosen, the selected playwrights crafted scripts based on several components assigned through random drawing. The first component: each had to base their script around a different deadly sin (pride, envy, avarice, sloth, lust, wrath, and pride). The second: each had to incorporate a specific prop and a specific line of dialog. The third: each playwright was assigned a specific cast for which to write.
