Alumni Laura Jacqmin has a new play in Victory Garden’s New works Festival which runs this weekend, August 5th-7th in Chicago!!  The website describes the Ignition festival: the Ignition Festival of New Plays is a national annual festival devoted to fostering a community of support for the development of outstanding new plays and nurturing relationships with emerging and established playwrights.  All readings are free and open to the public.”

Laura’s new play is called “EOM(end of message)” and here is the blurb “When the milestone date on their new video game is suddenly moved up – the week before Thanksgiving – a ragtag team of game developers must camp out at the office for seven days straight, crunching to meet an impossible deadline.”  Looks funn!!
