PLAYWRIGHTS ON PARK Reading Series is a new and exciting artistic endeavor for Playhouse on Park. Our mission is to develop and produce original plays and musicals, to foster emerging and established playwrights, and to become a leader in new play development. We aim to help establish the Greater Hartford Area as a premiere destination for the cultivation and exploration of innovative theatrical work.
WHAT IS PLAYWRIGHTS ON PARK?
Playwrights on Park is an opportunity for emerging and established playwrights to bring the earliest incarnations of their plays directly to the Playhouse on Park audience. It will serve as an immediate connection between the words (and world) of the play and the audience for which it is intended.
Our focus will be on the playwright and the play. We will select several plays throughout the season and give the playwright and our audience an opportunity to hear the work read aloud, in some cases for the first time. This process will allow our audience an exciting look into the development of new work, as well as an early look at the plays that may premiere at the Playhouse on Park in subsequent seasons. It will allow the playwright an opportunity to develop their work, with feedback from our audience. We hope to develop and sustain open and ongoing relationships with the playwrights selected for the reading series.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We will accept year-round submissions for the Playwrights on Park Reading Series. Throughout each season, there will a presentation of the selected works. The plays will receive a cast of professional actors and a director and will be presented as a staged reading for a public audience. After the reading, a moderated audience discussion with the actors, the director, and most importantly, the playwright, will give both the Playhouse on Park and the playwright constructive feedback to further develop the playwright's vision for the play.
HOW DO I SUBMIT A PLAY?
Playwrights on Park seeks to unveil the best new material from playwrights across the country. Submitted plays will be considered for our Playwrights on Park Reading Series.
Most importantly, the Playwrights on Park Reading Series is an experience for the playwright and our audience. There are only a limited number of readings per season. As the playwright is the focus of our reading series, selected playwrights must be available to come to the Playhouse on Park for the staged reading of the play and the audience discussion that follows. The presence of the playwright is the cornerstone of Playwrights on Park reading series.
