Featuring homegrown actors and production staff from throughout Westchester, the new play Two Junes & No July by Susan Jennifer Polese is the first production in the county from State of Play Productions (stateofplaytheater.com), Westchester’s newest theater incubator for developing and producing original, full-length plays. Two Junes & No July will run Sept 4-7 at Whippoorwill Hall, part of North Castle Library, 19 Whippoorwill Road East, Armonk, N.Y. 10504.
Though based in Westchester, presenting its work within the county is a first for State of Play Productions, which has spent the past 10 years honing its craft by helping playwrights bring their work to stages in New York City.
“We are excited to bring this process closer to home here in the Hudson Valley,” says State of Play Artistic Director Michelle Concha, an Ossining resident. “We couldn’t be happier to be in Armonk at the Whippoorwill Theater the first weekend in September.”
Says the author, award-winning playwright Susan Jennifer Polese, of North Salem, “The play was developed with State of Play Productions both in Manhattan and Westchester. We are so happy to see it come to life right here in Westchester, using amazing local talent.”
