Scope Fest celebrates the debut of twelve emerging artists in a self-produced theatrical festival that focuses on the process of developing devised, written and directed work. With a variety of theatrical experiences, The Scope presents 48 shows in 48 hours - a weekend to immerse the spectator in the holistic view that Playwrights Horizons Theater School teaches their students. The Scope aims to s
timulate conversation with our audience and provides spectators a chance to question and celebrate the world as seen through these emerging artists' point of view. A preview on what each show is, where they are located, and what they are about:
