Forwarding Kansas City as a major national center for the development and production of new works, KC Rep's OriginKCNew Works program offers playwrights the financial, creative, and artistic resources required to develop vital, diverse, theatrical work. Featuring top local and national playwrights, the Monday Night Playwright Series offers script-in-hand readings of new plays on their journey to becoming future hit shows. Step into the world of a new play as it's built, and meet the playwrights whose work electrifies stages across the country.

"There's something incredible about experiencing the bare bones of a play - just actors and text. I love welcoming audiences to engage with early drafts of scripts, listening to the text come alive, and giving feedback in our post-reading conversations", said Marissa Wolf, Director of New Works for KC Rep.


"It's been a longstanding dream to make a home at the Rep for top playwrights across the country," added Eric Rosen, Artistic Director.

All events are free and open to the public. Seats are limited, so reserve your ticket now.

All events take place in the Spencer Theatre donor lounge (4949 Cherry St, Kansas City, MO). Go to kcrep.com/new-works-2016 to make your reservations today!
