Original plays, selected by committee from submissions received from Central Ohio playwrights, are presented in a readers theatre format.
Curtain Players provides the playing space, rehearsal space, and very basic stage lighting, with the selected playwrights taking creative license with directors and actors of their choosing to bring their stories to life.
RFK is a behind-the-scenes look at the tension between principle and political practicalities, and is based on the true story of Robert Kennedy's somewhat acrimonious discussions with Martin Luther King and other leaders of the civil rights movement, before Robert (and his brother, the president) chose a path what has turned out to be the right side of history.

When the Brothers Huntingdon lost their parents to the treachery of King Henry of the Plantagenets, their lives took very different paths. One became an outlaw. One became the sheriff. A chance to reclaim their nobility brings the brothers to Sherwood, where they find a Queen fighting for freedom, the King who destroyed their family, and the truth about their connection to Robin Hood. Their feud puts the very future of England at stake, as one brother puts himself before his kin, while the other discovers that being an outlaw might just be in his blood.
