Play as in theater, that is - for the last three Saturdays in September, South of Broadway Theatre Company, together with the Old North Charleston Merchants’ Association, will host the first annual North Charleston Playwrights Festival. Mary Gould, who heads up South of Broadway (which also has an amazing program called Summer in the City, in which promising local students study at Juilliard), has great events planned for each day of the celebration: poetry readings, play slams (and if poetry slams are cool - and they are - this should be amazing), typewriter plays (very intriguing), and themed menus at area restaurants. In addition, there will be 5 plays presented in staged readings at South of Broadway, 1080 E. Montague Ave.

For info and tickets, call South of Broadway at 814-4451.
