Randy's critically acclaimed multimedia solo shows SEEGER, and HARD TRAVELIN' WITH WOODY, premiered at The New York International Fringe Festival and continue to tour nationwide (see www.HardTravelinShow.com and www.SeegerShow.com)There is nothing more important to the long-term vitality of American theatre as an art form than the nurturing of new voices. PlayWorks is the first step in this process. PlayWorks presents readings of new plays by contemporary, often local playwrights, giving them an opportunity to share their work and include the audience in the creative process.

Plays are performed by professional actors and each reading is followed by a audience discussion with the author, giving our supporters a rare opportunity to become an important part of the creative process and to engage the playwright with questions, comments and their personal insight into the work.
