While this influential new-play conference developed plenty of new work, it also developed racist and sexist practices, say many artists and staff, necessitating a change of leadership.
The selected playwrights will receive workshops and readings as part of PlayPenn’s 2020 play development conference.
The selected writers will develop their plays through workshops and public readings at the conference.
To get the most out of a staged reading, communicate early and often so that everyone is on the same page.
The new-play conference will feature work by Dominic Taylor, J. Julian Christopher, Lindsay Joelle, Mattie J. Hawkinson, Ray Yamanouchi, and Sevan Kaloustian Greene.
