Plan-B's 2016/17 Script-In-Hand Series to Kick Off Next Month

Plan-B Theatre Company has announced the 2016-17 Script-in-Hand Series of free readings of plays-in-progress.

The three plays of the 2016/17 Script-In-Hand Series, sponsored by Lee & Audrey Holler and the Dramatists Guild Fund, were first read privately in The Lab (Plan-B's monthly gathering of 12 local playwrights), during the 2015/16 season. They are now ready for you, their first public audience!

All three readings are FREE but require tickets, available at planbtheatre.org/scriptinhandseries - all three readings are in the Studio Theatre at the Rose Wagner, 138 W 300 S, SLC.
