New Works, New Casting Prospects Flower in NYC Festival Season.

The article informs that while the New York theatre season no longer seems as strictly September-to-June as it used to be, with year-round Broadway openings and Off-Broadway companies mounting works into July, festivals of new work do tend to pop up, flowerlike, during the spring and summer. In the year 2005, in the four months between June and September, no fewer than 10 festivals will keep the city's stages abuzz with hundreds of new plays and musicals, solo works, variety acts and performances that defy categorization.
