Playwrights' Project summer feature to debut

Bloomington Playwright's Project is another local arts group entertaining Bloomington this summer with its feature play "Karaoke Night at the Hog" as its summer production.\nThe play is described as an interactive, music-laced comedy by Midwest playwright Keith Huff.\nHuff is the recipient of several awards, including three Illinois State Arts Council Playwriting Fellowships. His play is an audience participation play, meaning the audience can participate by singing karaoke along with the cast. "Karaoke Night at the Hog" investigates friends and love through karaoke.
