The Play's The Thing 2020
The Play's The Thing - Festival of New Plays
January 24-26, 2020 | A2CT Studio
The Play’s the Thing is back! This popular play reading festival is a unique collaboration between playwrights and audience members. Playwrights hear their works read and the audience gives feedback to facilitate new play development. Each performance features plays of varying lengths, and every playwright will be on hand to join in the post-show discussion with the audience, actors, and directors.
