I have detailed in a prior post that my historical farce “Philosophus” was one of three finalists in the 2018 TNT POPS! New Play Competition, where it was slated to be produced by a member theatre of Texas Nonprofit Theatres.

Today, I am happy to report that “Philosophus” will be produced by Plaza Theatre, a wonderful theater in the city of Wharton, TX, which serves as the county seat of Wharton County.

The Plaza Theatre is the community theatre of Wharton. Their “central location and excellent accessibility help (them) attract audience and performers from throughout the region, including the nearby counties of Victoria, Fort Bend, Matagorda, Colorado, Brazoria, and Jackson.” The theatre building previously served as a hotel and then was converted into a movie theater in 1942, also named the “Plaza Theatre.” The movie theater itself lasted for over three decades before closing down in the 1970’s and then reopening as a live entertainment venue in 1990, courtesy of the Community Theater of Wharton.

“Philosophus” will be directed by Trace Morris and play one weekend, from February 22-February 24th.
