Experience live theatre in the making with Nu Werkz Series.! In its expanded commitment to the development of new plays, MTC presents works by new and emerging playwrights both local and from across this country. Playwrights are brought in to work with leading local artists, and a response session/Q&A with the playwright, director, and actors follows each performance.
Here, audiences experience the first steps in making a new play. The full-length script-in-hand staged readings are intimate and exciting but without the costumes, props and sets that would be involved in a full production.
