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!
