The festival’s signature event returns. Four playwrights have been commissioned to write new ten-minute plays inspired by the theme of “Food”. Phoenix Theatre Ensemble company members receive the scripts for the first time at the performance and have only five minutes to prepare before presenting fully staged readings. Fast-paced, unpredictable, and always hilarious.

VILLAGE STORIES

(Fa la Femmina)

written and performed by

Antoinette LaVecchia

with classic Italian music and original music by

John La Barbera

“Fa la Femmina” is an expression that means “be a lady” or “behave, you’re a woman” etc…This is what my Nonna said to me before she died on my last visit to Italy in 2006.

Village Stories (Fa la Femmina) is a collage of characters and stories from my Italian ancestry in one small Southern Italian town, ESPECIALLY the women. Village Stories weaves music and storytelling to tell the universal story of how the past informs our present and future. It explores the violence, the suffering, the joys and the never-ending ENDURANCE of these people of the Earth who kept moving forward in spite of everything.

Run time 60 minutes

Cash Bar available
