PLAY GROUP

This vibrant and eclectic group of emerging playwrights gathers twice a month at Ars Nova to share new work and get peer feedback. The group offers members the chance to develop their plays with peer support, form collaborative relationships and build a strong sense of community within Ars Nova. In addition, members receive dramaturgical support and artistic matchmaking advice from the Ars Nova artistic staff, consideration for Ars Nova’s public reading series (Out Loud); in-house development opportunities and industry exposure through a culminating group production at Ars Nova. We will present the show created by members of this year’s Group in January of 2014.
