29PWC provides three levels of support for developing new plays. 1. Weekly craft meetings with readings and feedback of scenes in progress. 2. A "First Look" table reading with professional actors, followed by feedback. 3. The New Works Series: The heart of our program! A public staged reading of the new play. Our method has proven results! Plays from our past New Works Series are seen on Theatre Row, in regionals and on campuses nation-wide, as far away as Perth, Australia, and heard on podcasts like TheParsnipShip.com. Scroll down for MORE SUCCESSES! Please consider a donation of any amount!
Did you know? Not only does our New Work Series support playwrights but also supports directors and working actors, from newly minted to long-time pros. We hope you can be generous in your support. We thank you in advance.
