Peggy Stafford (Assistant Prof. Playwriting)

Penned film selected for New York Indie Theatre and Film Festival 

Playwriting and Screenwriting Assistant Professor and Chair of Playwriting Peggy Stafford adapted her short play 16 Words Or Less into a screenplay and the film has now been selected to screen as part of the New York Indie Theatre and Film Festival .  The film was made by “theater people making film” and is a great example of the Purchase multi-platform approach to story-telling.  Opening night of the festival will be hosted by playwright Qui Nguyen who also writes screenplays and television.
