Wallace Shawn, Jeremy Shamos and More Set for ImPlosion Party at Joe's Pub Tonight, 9/10
by BWW News Desk - Sep 10, 2012

In 2003, concerned that the trend of endless readings and development programs was limiting the texture and ambition of new American plays, 13 midcareer playwrights banded together to try a different model. Each playwright would serve as Artistic Director of the company-deciding the goals of the project, designing its process, and choosing collaborators-as it realized a full production of his/her play. The organization, 13P, completed its mission with Sara Ruhl's (P#13) sold-out Melancholy Play in July.
