The proceeds from this tour are specifically going towards the organization's relief efforts in Haiti.

The group will perform new plays based on the theme of freedom including, The Great Molasses Flood watches the cloudy sky with a young couple trying to resolve their differences after years of dating. Contestants on a game show grudgingly work together in pursuit of the mysterious grand prize in The Reward.

Recently accepted to Harvard, a girl explains her decision not to attend to the upper-class grandfather who raised her.

Open Space Arts is a coalition of artists, educators, parents, and community members who are dedicated to fostering a safe space where families can come together and create amazing art. The suggested donation is $9, $6 for children. Audience members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and bug spray to enjoy the outdoor show.

Since 2006, the community arts organization has produced three brand new full-length plays and last year's original one-act play festival. 2010 brings five new works on the theme of freedom alive this summer at Open Space.

The festival will run August 6 and 7, 13 and 14  with performances starting at 7 pm, and August 8 and 15 at 2 pm.
