Nov 12, 2019 We would like to extend a huge thank-you to everyone in our Spooky Family for coming out to support our Staged Reading Series this past month! The New Works in Action program's main mission is to provide playwrights with a testing ground for their works while they're in their final stretch, which would be impossible without your support! Thanks to everyone who submitted a script for Round 12! We are reviewing the scripts for our upcoming stage readings. |
