The 3-Play Project by Mitchell D. Wess

Four years ago, I heard something on the radio that sparked an idea for a story. Three years and three scripts later, I was eager to hear how all that sounded in action. As a first-time playwright/screenwriter, though, I was pretty sure that finding a willing production company would be, well, tough. So, I decided to produce these works on my own. As audio dramas. The collection of recordings that follows was made possible by a remarkably versatile group of fourth-year drama students at the University of Hartford’s Hartt School for the performing arts.
