Dramaworks Presents Virtual Series DRAMA(IN THE)WORKS

Palm Beach Dramaworks is presenting a series of weekly readings of evolving plays. The plays can be viewed for free by the public. A few hours after the conclusion of the play, a recording of the presentation can be seen on Palm Beach Dramawork's YouTube Channel. The project involves the audience in helping determine which plays will be included in the 2021 New Year/New Plays Festival. The audience may contribute to a "talkback" by entering their question or comment in the Q&A section at the bottom center of their screen. The readings are free, but reservations are required.

See a list of remaining readings below.
