Taking the STAGES. ๐ญ๐ถ The South Carolina New Play Festival is curtains up in for year 3, with more variety, more shows, more venues and more big stars. The festival, started by husband and wife Broadway producers with dozens of credits each, draws casting agents and show runners from across the country to watch new works and scout talent.
With word spreading in the industry and among theater goers, many of the shows are sellouts. But, they've expanded to include FREE outdoor shows at Falls Park. Plus, Greenville native and Tony Award Winner Phillip Boykin-The Boy Can Entertain will do a ticketed performance to close the fest tomorrow night.
Check out the Sunday schedule and snag the a couple of the few remaining tickets to see Boykin, back in his hometown.

UNDER CONTRACT. ๐ The City of Greenville plans to purchase more than six acres of vacant land along Church Street to protect neighborhoods, preserve open space and provide affordable housing. ๐ก
"I think it has the potential to be transformational for the surrounding neighborhood,โ says Councilor Ken Gibson.
City Council will consider a resolution to approve the purchase and an ordinance to appropriate funds during its formal meeting on Monday, August 12.

The Cityโs 20-year comprehensive plan, GVL2040, calls for the preservation of 35 percent of the cityโs vacant land as open space and for at least 10 percent of new housing to be affordable.
