Actors and Playwrights Collaborative is a new group of actors, directors, playwrights, and producers in the Greater Cincinnati area who are committed to working collaboratively on the development of new scripts and the production of new stage works. Our first project was the 2009 Spring Briefs Festival at the Permafringe, 1341 Main St., Cincinnati, OH on April 9-10 & 19. We presented six new short plays: "Sponge," "Pickle," and "Rain" by Herb DuVal; and "Carpe Diem," "A New Boyfriend," and "Daddy's Little Girl" by Phil Paradise.
