Studio X-hibition - New Play Development Reading Series
Dates vary. For all three readings, they will be a single Monday within our upcoming season.

Specific plays are currently TBA, however we are looking for plays that include:

One play that is ethnically centric, similar to our 2012 reading of A Thousand Kinds of Silence (now entitled The Most Spectacularly Lamentable Trial of Miz Martha Washington) by James Ijames

One play that is female centric, similar to our 2013 reading of Trish Tinkler Gets Saved by Jacqueline Goldfinger

One play that is ensemble based asking actors to read several roles, similar to our 2013 reading of Rizzo by Bruce Graham
