Collaboration 3

"An exciting collection of drama and comedy written, performed, and directed by a very talented group, says Marc Clopton, Executive Director of TASN, providing an excellent night of theater, filled with surprises."

Every third weekend, a group of experienced playwrights and actors gather to workshop each others new material. The playwrights give their pages to the actors in advance, the actors bring these words to life, suggestions are made, insight is provided, and a new play is born.

"We have some of the areas best talent banding together to create our own form of magic," says actor and playwright Adair Rowland. "The help I've received has been tremendous."

"We're here to support each other, commit to each other's work, and most importantly to help each other discover" says playwright Jack Rushton. "Sometimes what you write is not always what you see and hear; the meaning of something changes through its interpretation. Trying to understand these mysteries is what our collaborative process is all about."

Playwrights from this Workshop have been produced at festivals around the country, with many of the actors performing at venues such as The New Works Festival, Newburyport, The Boston Theater Marathon and The Playwrights Platform in Boston, to name only a few.

"We are a troupe," says playwright Nick Hennessy. "From a group of friends and colleagues, we've assembled this amazing universe of talent all dedicated to the work and to each other."
