The series, which is named after the late Richard and Betty Burdick, is a part of the larger Sarasota Festival of New Plays. It is a celebration of three new works, which FST presents on Monday Evenings during the month of May in the Keating Theatre. This year, the three plays are The Chimes, written by Kevin Christopher Snipes; Trumpery, by Peter Parnell; and Up to Home, by Beth Duda.
