Weston Playhouse Theatre Company is launching its Reimagined 2020 Season with the online premiere of ONE ROOM, the first project in its new works initiative, Weston Writers.

Carolyn Gage, an award-winning lesbian-feminist playwright and activist, teams up with counterclaim (c-c), a Brooklyn-based production company, to host an online reading of her latest work: Female Nude Seated, a one-act play about Irish painters Mainie Jellet and Evie Hone.

The Drama League has announced the eleven directors chosen for its Fellowships and Residencies in the 2020 Drama League Directors Project.

Last week, the Mayor ordered a shutdown of all Cultural Arts Spaces in order to protect everyone's health and safety in response to Covid-19. Today the governor ordered that 100% of non-essential workers must stay home; effectively shutting down the city. We are in the midst of an unprecedented crisis. However, this world, our one singular world, has been in crisis for some time, from sociopolitical & institutionalized oppression to the growing climate emergency.

The Drama League has announced an inaugural event: First Stage Festival, where new works take their first steps, featuring 10 resident directors who will have 10 hours to focus and manifest a particular moment or element of 10 new works, giving a glimpse into the future of the American Theater.
