The Vortex has produced numerous national and international premieres in its 48-year history, many of these by New Mexico Playwrights. In our efforts to locate fresh opportunities and to support the development of new works, we regularly present semi-staged readings of new works followed by feedback sessions with the playwright and director.

60th Anniversary Party

by Allen Manning

Directed by Barry Hazan

​

An elderly couple bickers over whether to celebrate their 55th anniversary, or to just wait and have a big 60th anniversary's party. The husband wants to wait. The wife and daughter feel that, given how old the husband and wife are, of course there’s no guarantee they’ll both be alive for a 60th, so they want to opt for a 55th anniversary party. Out of the arguments comes some good fun.

​

​

Other upcoming readings dates: December 1
