UPCOMING @ PREMIERE STAGES IN UNION

Annual Premiere Play Festival Readings!

Four plays, selected from a record 400 submissions to the Premiere Stages Play Festival, are given professional readings and will be considered for expanded development as part of Premiere Stages' 2012 season. Evaluation forms will be distributed and patrons are encouraged to participate in post-reading dialogues with the writers.

The readings provide a unique opportunity to see four plays in a developmental forum, make suggestions and recommendations to the playwrights, and help support the creation of new works for the stage.

Your feedback will be considered seriously as we choose the winner for a full production in July. Be a part of the process!

The Premiere Play Festival Readings will take place on March 15, 16 and 17 at 7:30 PM and March 18 at 3:00 PM. Finalists will be announced by March 1st. Stayed tuned for more details!
