NEW LEBANON, N.Y. â The Theater Barn begins its 37th season this weekend with something itâs never done before â a staged reading of a new play. The way producing artistic director Allen Phelps sees it, this first staged reading wonât be the last.
The play, âWe the People,â began Thursday, June 3, and continues Friday evening at 8, Saturday, at 4 and 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2. Itâs the creation of 20-year-old novice playwright Harrison Zeiberg, a history and politics major at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass. It is set at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The play won a national playwriting competition and was produced, as a reading, at the 2020 New Works Festival.
