Betts and Singleton on Good Morning Kentucky

Producers of this year's Midway Festival of Plays, James Betts (of 517 Playwrights and the Kentucky Playwrights' Workshop, Inc.) and Bob Singleton, appeared on Good Morning Kentucky with host Kellie Wilson to promote the event that opens tonight at the Thoroughbred Community Theatre in Midway, KY and runs through Sunday.

Asked how the interview went Betts replied, "It went really fast. We probably weren't on camera for more than about a minute. But we were able to discuss the festival and promote it."
