FOREWORD: A New Works Series was born out of our desire to employ artists and create artistic work in our community during a time when live theatre is not an option for many.
On September 1 we put out a nationwide call for submissions of new, original, full-length plays. The five plays below have been selected for virtual developmental workshops beginning in November. Each workshop will last two weeks - during which time the playwrights will work with a director and a team of artists leading up to a public, virtual, live reading of the work. We invite you to become a sponsor and join us in supporting this work and register to attend the readings.
As you know, starting conversations is core to our mission at Prologue Theatre, so we've designed a series of conversations to pair with each of our monthly new play workshops.

- New Play Development Conversation Series: During the first week of each workshop, Artistic Director Jason Tamborini will discuss the process of new play development with other members of the DC area theatre community.
- Reading & Post-Show Conversation with the Playwright: After each public reading, we will host a post-show conversation with the playwright.
- Deep Dive Conversation: Finally, in the week following the public reading, we'll bring audiences back together virtually for an in-depth conversation into the key issues each play explores. We want to hear what the play made you think about or maybe even see in a different light.
