Licensing House TRW Inks Slate Of Playwrights For Launch of TRWPlays Brand

Throughout 2020 Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW)'s Owner/CEO Steve Spiegel worked with Lysna Marzani, newly-appointed Executive Director of TRWPlays, to create a place where playwrights and their work are nurtured and performed. Now representing creatively gifted writers of thought provoking, contemporary, socially and culturally relevant stories, TRW Plays brings a new and growing collection of important titles for all stages of the world. The new TRWPlays collection is available for licensing worldwide at www.trwplays.com.

"Having fielded years of requests from writers, agents, schools, community and professional theatre groups regarding play properties, I always envisioned starting a play licensing division. TRW Plays houses plays featuring riveting, timely subjects from culturally diverse writers. I'm elated to appoint TRW's Lysna Marzani to the role of Executive Director of TRW Plays." - Steve Spiegel, Owner/CEO, TRW

"It's not a question of whether theatre will come back, but what it will look like when it does. Without delay and in an unprecedented fashion, TRW will ally with communities of all kinds, in an ongoing celebration of our country's wealth of perspectives and cultural diversity, in ways only live performance can. This exciting new role is an opportunity to leverage decades of experience to reset some buttons and install systems that values inclusivity." - Lysna Marzani, Executive Director, TRWPlays

Spiegel continued, "Lysna has lived the world of theatre throughout her career and is an authority on stage play licensing. One of the most highly respected executives in the industry, Lysna possesses an incredible reservoir of relationships, knowledge and experience that immediately has TRW Plays handling exciting, meaningful and inspiring titles."
