PARK SLOPE QUARTET by Catherine Rogers

Picture
Harry Michaels believes he may be at the end of his life. As he prepares to cross over, he receives hints of a world beyond. Harry hires a poetry tutor, Elsie, to help him put words to his visions. As they work, Elsie finds his willingness to let go of life transforms her own deep fear of living fully. Together they create an age-defying love affair with life and death.

Review Our 2025 Season

DONATE!
The 29th Street Playwrights Collective knows that 
generous support is the greatest factor in moving a new play from page to stage.
29PWC provides tiered levels of support for developing new plays.
  Weekly craft meetings with scene readings and feedback of scenes in progress.
  Tier 1: A "First Look" table reading with professional actors, followed by feedback.
  Tier 2: The New Works Series: A 20-hour rehearsal period, with a public staged reading in a studio.
  Tier 3: The New Works Series: A 26-hour workshop, with 2 enhanced staged readings in a theatre.

Our method has proven results!
Plays from our past New Works Series are seen on Theatre Row, in Regionals and on campuses nation-wide and as far away as Perth, Australia, seen on YouTube such as CreateTheater, and heard on podcasts like TheParsnipShip.com. Click HERE for SUCCESS STORIES!
