These events are primarily private and occasionally by invitation only. They're a part of our development process for one-acts and full-length plays, designed to serve the playwright, text, and artistic team.
We're writing Holiday Plays!
Writing a play is a craft that includes multiple revisions and readings to reflect and refine the story in the playwright's head. You and your feedback are an internal part of our process. Join us for an evening of readings featuring two short holiday plays and an interactive discussion with the playwrights.
