Aleks Merilo News

Attending a World Premiere is always an exciting moment for audiences. There is an allure to the anticipation that the unknown brings. Then, when the theatrical event is nothing short of excellent, there is elating satisfaction to being among the first audiences privileged to see the piece staged. Such is the case with The Landing Theatre Company's breathtaking and gripping production of Aleks Merilo's EXIT 27, which was the winner of the 2012 New American Voices Play Reading Series last summer. This resoundingly incredible play deftly moved me more than anything I have ever witnessed, stirring my mind and breaking my heart many times and on many different levels.

CoHo Productions announces the winners of its 2012 New By Northwest (NEWXNW) Playwriting Competition - Exit 27 by Aleks Merilo and The Candlestick Maker by Emily Golden, its inaugural student-playwright selection.

Tangent Theatre Company previously announced the six plays to be featured in its NEWvember New Plays Festival - a showcase of original works to be held at the Carpenter Shop Theater, their intimate 50-seat performance space (today, Nov. 8 -11, 2012).
