the WRITERS' LAB developmental readings are up & running!
🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕💨
6 playwrights have spent the year creating new site-responsive scripts for the company, and we're just getting these wild & wooly babies up on their feet!

we've got peppy pups, hapless tourists, maritime disasters, picnicking ghosts, washed-up action stars, alien cruise ships, ai robots, chekovian family drama, time loops, and more!

these readings are currently for our eyes only, to help kick these scripts up to the next level, but keep your eyes peeled for public readings across the city this summer!
