St. Petersburg, FL – American Stage is excited to continue their support of the next generation of American playwrights with their 2019 21ST CENTURY VOICES: NEW PLAY FESTIVAL. This festival is a core component of our 21st CENTURY VOICES: EMERGING PLAYS, dedicated to discovering, developing, and introducing audiences to new works for the stage. A diverse committee of 40 community members works alongside our Producing Artistic Director Stephanie Gularte each year to read and evaluate over 500 new play submissions from up-and-coming playwrights across the globe.
From this selection process, this festival includes live staged readings of four new plays from four featured playwrights. These staged readings give audiences the opportunity to contribute to the plays’ development through talk-backs following each reading, providing meaningful feedback to the playwrights. Visit americanstage.org/new for more information.
