OUR PLAYWRIGHTS' WORK ON OTHER STAGES
|
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. 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! 29th Street Playwrights Collective NEW WORKS SERIES is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of 29th Street Playwrights Collective NEW WORKS SERIES must be made payable to Fractured Atlas only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
