"The Boston University School of Theatre New Play Initiative presents a series of Next Stage workshops, scenes, and plays. These Next Stage pieces will be directed by our Undergraduate Directors and will flower as the next step in the fruition of these new plays by BU students. The nature of the presentation and the work is determined by the needs of the play. Curated by Kirsten Greenidge, this “on-its-feet” workshop or play experience focuses on different areas of the writing or specific parts of a project in the process of development."

Manspread was produced as a staged reading, which included minor blocking moments, as well as a few sound cues. Within the rehearsal room, our playwright was present and making edits to the script as we went along.
