T. Schreiber Studio Presents the 2011 New Works Project

T. Schreiber Studio (Terry Schreiber, Artistic Director), which has trained actors for the professional stage and produced award-winning classic plays since 1969, announced today its newest program, the New Works Project.

The T. Schreiber Studio New Works Project is committed to supporting the development of new full-length plays in a safe and nurturing environment, one that serves the playwright and enriches the T. Schreiber Studio community as a whole. The Studio provides the playwright access to the expertise of experienced theatre professionals, sophisticated and well-trained actors, and a supportive, interactive audience.

In the New Works Project, T. Schreiber Studio will develop new theatrical productions through a series of staged readings and collaborative refinement, culminating in a professional workshop production. The goal is to foster and elevate writers' work to its fullest potential.

The winning play will receive two staged readings, in March 2011 and May 2011, performed by T. Schreiber Studio actors. To further develop the play, audience feedback is solicited and the production staff of T. Schreiber Studio will work directly with the playwright to refine the production. The New Works Project culminates in a workshop production of the winning play for a limited run in late July 2011. There will be no cash prize provided for the selected play. However, the developmental assistance provided for the selected playwright is invaluable.

The New Works Project is committed to script development and successful production of new works. Winning playwrights are expected to participate fully in the development process: working directly with the director and T. Schreiber staff during staged readings; interacting with audiences post-readings; and participating in the workshop production.

Submissions are due December 16, 2010. For full guidelines, visit http://tschreiber.org/productions/new-works-project/.
