About the program
Carthage Theatre is committed to creating exciting, compelling new theatre works. Since 2008, Carthage Theatre has commissioned playwrights of prominence from around the country and the world to create original plays for our department, and work closely with our students to bring them to life. These works receive their world premieres here at Carthage. This unique opportunity means that our students collaborate with playwrights currently active in the highest levels of the theatre world. Recent projects include Honest, written by Oscar-winner Eric Simonson; The Rail Splitter, written by Emmy Award-winning writer Rick Cleveland; Ghost Bike, written by Wendy Wasserstein Award-winning playwright Laura Jacqmin; and No Name, written by prolific playwright and screenwriter Jeffrey Hatcher. In 2014-2015, Carthage Theatre students will work with ‘Mad Men’ and ‘House of Cards’ writer Keith Huff.
