Meet the playwrights and discuss the plays at the talkback following each reading.

Whether they are playing on the main stage at a festival, theatre halls or pubs, Emish brings an energy packed show with witty banter on stage, leaving their fans asking for more. For over a decade, members of Emish have been performing in various professional groups including anything and everything from Traditional Irish, Irish Rock, and Punk to Symphony Orchestras. Individually, they have toured as far as Europe and Japan honing their performing skills – all preparing themselves for the day that they would collectively form Emish. With their versatility and well-seasoned skills, combined with on-stage foot stomping energy and off-stage charisma, Emish has been making fans from one coast to the other. Their music includes “emishified” traditional songs and tunes with their own original compositions that creates a sound described as “Celtic Rock with an edge”.

Although Emish tours regularly throughout the country, they still hold tight to their roots back home and have been honored with being voted the "Best Band of the Hudson Valley" for the past two years.

Synopsis--
ONLY TWO PERFORMANCES!  Mr. Aesop and his colorful collection of factory parts--including Straucey, the Story Starter; Pluto, the Plot Plotter; Wadsworth, the Word Worker; Gretel, the Grammar Guardian; and others--are back again, with more fables and songs to delight and enchant. This sequel to the original Fabulous Fable Factory finds the group still searching for a permanent moral maker. The 2,000-year-old factory, which moves about in time and space, attempts to return to the spot where it landed 30 years ago and reconnect the ensemble with their first temporary moral maker. Many surprises await them, however, when they encounter a much different world than before, introduced to them by a 12-year-old who accidentally discovers the factory. With five new exciting fables and an equal number of lively songs, this delightful new musical will be enjoyed by all ages.

Appropriate for ages 4 and above.  Great for Families!

SYNOPSIS
A cool, hip cricket--Cricky-- and a sweet Blue Fairy try to guide a willful puppet, Pinocchio, past the many temptations that cross his path and toward what will make him a real boy.  Based on the classic tale with traditional characters but a very modern message.  The zesty songs and dances resound with fun and good times.

The Mother Mystique -- that eternal connection to the person who helped carry, create and nurture a child -- constantly defines a life, for better or worse. With an 87- minute exploration to this hot bed of feminine psychology and estrogen, the show comprises 10 vignettes, tied together by 20 voice mail messages. (Caller ID makes ignoring a mother's phone call entirely too easy.) The vignettes represent conversations between daughters, mothers and sisters. The play produces many comic and droll moments and makes for an enjoyable evening.
