Week of Extraordinary Risk 2018
The WEEK OF EXTRAORDINARY RISK (formerly the Bonfire Series), our annual play reading festival, is the culminating event of our PlayLab playwrights' group. Through the PlayLab, we endeavor to support playwrights in turning their biggest wildest ideas into finished scripts.

This year's series features witches, demons, lots of gods, not nearly enough words, a lunar explosion, and the internet.
