Horatio Alger Festival

Synopsis:
Metropolitan Playhouse hosts The Horatio alger Festival, the theater's seventh annual Living Literature Festival of performances inspired by the lives and works of American authors. The Festival is a collection of five new works by artists and companies from near and far taking their inspiration from alger's works and biography. The Horatio alger Festival includes one-act and full-length plays, ranging from adaptation to biographical fantasy, all inspired by alger and his work. alger's legacy as the man who made the rags to riches story an American staple, is familiar to all; less well known are his actual stories, and the story of his own life, with inspirational and nefarious twists of its own. Together, these very different plays by singular contemporary theater voices will bring the author's work to a new audience, explore the persistent resonance of his themes in our own culture (for good and ill), and delve into the darker side of both the alger myth and alger the man.
