The New Play Development Factory seeks to provide an opportunity for local playwrights to hear their new work out loud and to give them time to continue to develop their piece throughout the festival.
Three full-length new works will have staged readings at the three-week festival, which runs from April 17 to May 6th, 2012. The selected plays will have one staged reading each week of the festival with time for the playwrights to fine tune their piece in between each reading. Each play will get their own director and cast of local talent from throughout the Bay Area. The new works will be directed by up and coming local directors Jeffrey Lo, Cara Phipps, and Heather Noelle Robinson. The playwrights will be on hand at each performance to take audience feedback and discuss their writing process.
