        Appalachian Festival of Plays & Playwrights

        Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights 2021 - Online!

        AFPP 2021 will be held online and over the span of two weeks starting January 26th, 2021.

        The Plays of AFPP 2021

        The recording of each play will be made available starting at noon on the day of its premiere, participants are invited to attend a panel discussion via Zoom at 8pm on the same evening.

        Patsy Armstrong is a coal miner. Just like her daddy, Earl. And just like her mother, Wanda, who was one of the first women ever hired underground in a union mine and, at 60 years old, is still there. As of this week, Patsy’s back in her mother and daddy’s house, after a mining accident that left her with no ability to move or communicate. Her bright 18-year old daughter, Livvy, now lives there too. In a home that’s full of humor and generosity and rowdiness and grit. But a home—not to mention a whole dang planet—that’s under more pressure than maybe it’s ever been. When the family gets news about the settlement from Patsy’s accident, Livvy jumps into the fray. And Patsy, now forced to listen and observe more than she ever did as a healthy person, is plagued by nightmares and revelations she’s able to share only with us. It doesn’t take long for her to realize she has to learn a new way of being if she’s gonna save her entire world.

        Bell and Roe live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that is so far gone they don’t even remember a time when there were grocery stores, safe drinking water, or 911. They each live in isolation, until they happen to meet. Bell shows Roe a game: take off your mask and see if you can breathe. Try this vegetable, and see if you wake up. Do more than just not-die. Bell may also have ulterior motives. Roe’s shelter is stocked with years worth of canned goods and other priceless resources. Is their friendship true–or just another game?

        A Part of Barter’s Black In Appalachia Initiative This initiative was founded to develop and support Black Appalachian Playwrights.

        In Apex, Alabama, a black woman and a white man, working together at the country’s largest retail chain form a bond that intensifies into a passionate and dangerous relationship.  City Limits touches on racial disparity, mental illness, and the soul’s desperate desire for freedom.

        In a mountain town split into remnants of Appalachia’s past and glimmers of its future, a lottery is announced. Ticket rates: standard. The prize: the chance to speak with God. The devout think it's sacrilege and the skeptics are sure it's a hoax and no one's certain exactly what God needs money for, but in the chance that there's truth to it, who'd say no to a miracle? A magical-realist new play with the music of church and shaky violins and family dinners, If God Came a Callin dives into the holy and the familial and all the restless in-between.

        Workshop: Weaving Memory Into Story

        Sponsored by Barter Theatre's Black in Appalachia Initiative

        In an effort to develop and support Black Appalachian playwrights, Barter Theatre is offering a free workshop to anyone in the Black community who has a story they’d like to tell. Led by Patrice Foster, MFA, this workshop will focus on content building by using memory-gathering exercises. From there, Barter’s playwright-in-residence Catherine Bush will illustrate how to create dramatic structure using this content.

        About AFPP

        This annual festival celebrates the richness of the Appalachian tradition by showcasing the stories of the region, both past and present, and the inspiration it provides the writers who live here.

        Since 1933, Barter Theatre has been developing new works and nurturing area talent. The AFPP has gained national attention by developing a process that has resulted in new plays being produced not only on Barter’s stages, but in regional theatres across the country.

        In an effort to give voice to the more diverse stories of our region, Barter is committed to presenting at least one play written by a Black Appalachian playwright at each annual Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights. We intend this to be a first step in ensuring that ALL Appalachians will be represented on our stages.
