SPOTLIGHT ON: LARRY STALLINGS
This month we'd like to spotlight one of our members, playwright, actor, director, and general bon vivant Larry Stallings.
Larry is well-known throughout the Orlando and Central Florida theater community, having written, appeared in, directed, or generally been involved with dozens of shows. Locally, his work has been prodced with Playwrights Round Table, Shoestring Theatre in Lake Helen, and Bay Street Theatre in Eustis and elsewhere, and beyond the Sunshine State he's been produced in Minneapolis and New York City, among others.
We'd like to congratulate Larry on having a very successful year so far. His whodunnit "The Shaeffer Killing", produced by Playwrights' Round Table, recently ran at the Orlando Fringe Festival for 7 performances and won very good reviews and audience, and was voted Best Original Play by the readers of the Daily City.com Blog. In late July and early August, his one-act series of vignettes, Sex Times Three, will be produced by Wallflower Theater Company at the new space of the Greater Orlando Actors' Theatre (669 Cherry Street, Winter Park). Finally, his new ten-minute comedy, "Sorry I'm Late", will be presented at GOAT's new space by Playwrights' Round Table as part of Summer Shorts on Aug. 13-15 and 20-22.
That's a lot of plays, a lot of laughs, and a lot of Larry! Congratulations on a very prolific spring and summer!
Larry is a longtime member of PRT. Each of these plays started out either as workshop or script call entries that later made the switch into production. PRT is glad to have lent a helping hand in the development and eventual production of these and other Stallings plays.
