Humana Festival 2008: The Complete Plays brings together all eleven
scripts from the 2008 Humana Festival of New American Plays, the 32nd
annual cycle of world premiere productions staged at Actors Theatre of
Louisville. The seven full-length plays and four ten-minute plays
represent an exceptional array of work by some of the most exciting new
voices in American theater -- from a scathing comedy about a blind date
gone awry (Becky Shaw); to a documentary drama about the evangelical
phenomenon in Colorado Springs (This Beautiful City); to a suburban
street being undermined by zombies from a video game (Neighborhood 3:
Requisition of Doom). Humana Festival 2008: The Complete Plays
features a diverse selection of theatrical works that challenge and
captivate audiences through movement, song, and bold explorations of
what it means to be human.
