THE CHINESE COOK
By Jean Battlo
Feb. 4, 2:00 pm
Remedy Cafe 125 West Jackson Ave
In a small, dying West Virginia mining town Hattie McDaniel struggles to keep a
diner going providing employment for her two long time waitresses, both of whom
are in constant fear of losing her job because there is no business. When Hattie
announces a new hire – a Chinese cook – the announcement is met with fear and
anger. No one can see how Hattie can afford a third employee, or why the always
practical Hattie would make such a seemingly whimsical hiring decisison.
ON LINE FIGHTING
By Harrison Young
Feb. 5, 2:00 pm
Remedy Cafe 125 West Jackson Ave
"ONLINE FIGHTING is an action-comedy about two video gamers rekindling a feud.
What starts off as fun and games online quickly becomes a battle of jealousy and
redemption offline -- especially once loved ones are involved."
**All readings are free to the public; however donations are
appreciated.ng>
The New Play Festival is sponsored by WUOT 91.9 FM
The New Play Festival would not be
possible without the support of the Tennessee Arts Commission and the Arts and
