Off-Broadway's Gotham Stage Company today announces the lineup for its second annual SPRINGboard New Works Series, to be held at The Players Club in New York City on May 7th and June 11th, 2012.

 

May 7th will feature a reading of COMING INTO BEING, the latest play by Carrie Barrett (ADAM & EMILY) to be directed by Hayley Finn (FATES'S IMAGINATION, KATE CRACKERNUTS).  Play features a family dealing with a son's gradual disappearance into the arms of a cult.

The SPRINGboard New Works series was launched by Gotham Stage Company in 2011, intended to provide a first public professional presentation of new American plays in early development.  Previous installment included plays by Ethan Lipton, Sara Farrington, and Carrie Barrett.
