Meet the Cast of Sixteen Springs or Four Loves A Staged Reading on our Main Stage Written by local Atlanta playwright Mel Konner Directed by O'Neil Delapenha Saturday November 14, 2026 2:30pm Special ASC Near-Speare New Works Event A Play About the Missing Years of The Winter’s Tale by local Atlanta Playwright Mel Konner A babe is reluctantly abandoned in a forest by Antigonus, who is attacked by a bear but survives. The babe, named Trouvita, and the injured nobleman are rescued by a shepherd family. She grows up (very smart and strong) as he slowly heals. Meanwhile, back in Sicilia, a slandered queen (very smart and strong) and her mad king diverge to very different ends. Sad moments ensue, but—spoiler alert—all’s well in the end as love triumphs, thanks to smart, strong women. This is a staged reading on our Main Stage. Food and drinks are available for purchase before the event. Link in bio for more info & tickets
