Following the final reading of the 2026 PlayLab Festival of New Works, all five festival playwrights — Dominic Finocchiaro, Kenneth Jones, Kelundra Smith, Stephen Spotswood, and Jenny Stafford — gather for a round-table discussion. The playwrights speak about their plays, their work as writers, and what it takes to make a living as a playwright in the American theatre. The panel caps off an intensive weekend of rehearsals, readings, and talkbacks held in the Historic Arcade Theatre.
