| Dan Marburger |
Starlight Community Theater is pleased to announce HOLY MATRIMONY! written by local playwright Dan Marburger as the winner of the 2019 Starlight Community Theater Playwriting Contest. As the winner, Mr. Marburger’s play will receive a staged reading and given consideration for a full production in subsequent seasons. The staged reading will be held on March 29th at 6pm at Starlight Community Theater. At the conclusion of the staged reading, audience goers will be able to participate in a talk back session with the playwright, director and actors.
HOLY MATRIMONY! is a charming and funny play. Can marriage stand the test of time? Donald and Betty Goodwin seek the answer to this question in the two-person, three act comedy that spans 43 years of marriage. Mr. Marburger, the playwright, is no stranger to the Arizona theater scene. He regularly performs in productions at Mesa Encore Theater and Fountain Hills Theater among others. Mr. Marburger is a faculty member in economics at Arizona State University’s WP Carey School of Business.
The purpose of Starlight’s annual Playwrighting Contest is to encourage new works for the stage by providing an opportunity for Arizona residents to engage in the playwriting process. Starlight Community Theater values the time and talent needed to write a play. Submissions were collected in the early fall and an anonymous committee read and scored all the entries to determine a winner.
The winner of the 2018 Starlight Community Theater Playwriting Contest was The Lost Girl, a D.H. Lawrence classic re-imagined by Germaine Shames. The Lost Girl received a staged reading on April 27, 2019.
