New York Theatre Experience to Publish 'Plays and Playwrights 2010'

The New York Theatre Experience, Inc. (NYTE) announces publication of Plays and Playwrights 2010. This is the eleventh volume in NYTE's annual series of anthologies of new plays by never-before-published playwrights.

Plays and Playwrights 2010 features ten works that premiered off-off-Broadway between September 2008-September 2009: The Invitation by Brian Parks; Flip Side by Ellen Maddow; Any Day Now by Nat Cassidy; The Spin Cycle by Jerrod Bogard; Suspicious Package: Rx by Gyda Arber & AaRon Baker; Our Country by Tony Asaro & Dan Collins; Maddy: A Modern Day Medea by Will Le Vasseur; Al's Business Cards by Josh Koenigsberg; The Songs of Robert by John Crutchfield; and MilkMilkLemonade by Joshua Conkel. These plays were originally presented by some of New York's most respected indie theaters, including the Ohio Theater, The Talking Band, Manhattan Theatre Source, the Brick Theater, Planet Connections Theater Festivity, Horse Trade Theatre Group, and the New York International Fringe Festival.

The book is edited by Martin Denton. In addition to the complete texts of the plays, it includes biographical information about the playwrights, production data, and an introductory essay by Denton. The foreword is by playwright Leslie Bramm.

Martin Denton is the editor of ten previous Plays and Playwrights anthologies as well as Playing with Canons: Explosive New Works from Classic Literature by America's Indie Playwrights and Unpredictable Plays. He is the founder and executive director of The New York Theatre Experience, Inc., a nonprofit corporation that uses new and traditional media to provide advocacy and support for American theatre. He is the founder and editor of nytheatre.com and founding producer of nytheatrecast, the first regularly scheduled original podcast devoted to New York theatre.
