by Richelle Sutton, dramaturg It’s that time of year again! We are gearing up to bring you another fantastic Microburst festival! The playwrights and production crew have been working hard since April to develop and perform new plays for your enjoyment and consideration. (All six of the plays in this festival went through extensive script development over the summer before going into rehearsals this fall.) We are incredibly glad for the opportunity we have to produce new work by our very own students. So, to help everyone get excited for the new plays you are going to see, I have asked our fabulous playwrights to give you some information about themselves, their plays, and their Microburst experiences thus far. Here is a chance to get to know the people behind the plays! Get to Know the Playwright, Sophia Acedo Play Title A Better Brother

by Richelle Sutton, dramaturg Lucy Maude Montgomery is the author of the Anne of Green Gables series, as well as hundreds of other short stories, essays, and poems. Although her life was not always happy or filled with limitless imaginings, she is still one of the most popularly read authors today. Anne has been loved by audiences worldwide, across years and generations. But to really appreciate the depth of this book, you must look at Montgomery's own life.

In honor of the show opening this weekend, I asked some of the cast and crew about their thoughts and experiences of this production. We hope that you will think about and enjoy their answers, and we look forward to seeing you come to the show in the next few weeks!
