In Her Words: A Celebration of Female Playwrights, a ​festival of play-readings, opens at the Constellation Playhouse Sunday October 27 and runs through October 29. The festival is a collaboration between four Bloomington-based and women-led theatre companies: Off-Night Productions, Resilience Productions, Monroe County Civic Theatre, and the Babel Theater Project.

Off-Night Productions cofounder Aubrey Seader spoke with Alex Chambers about what led to this festival and the plays they're presenting. More information at the Off-Night Productions website.
