Keen Company Announces Playwrights Lab Readings

12/4/2019 2:11pm


Keen Company Artistic Director Jonathan Silverstein has announced his plans for Keen’s Playwrights Lab, including readings from this year’s participants as well as the playwrights for the 2020 Lab. The first public reading of three new plays, developed through the 2019 Keen Playwrights Lab, will feature playwrights Mashuq Mushtaq Deen, Mona Mansour, and Deb Margolin. The 2020 Playwrights Lab will offer new works from Karen Hartman, Lisa Ramirez, and Ken Urban. Launched in 2013, The Keen Playwrights Lab brings together three American playwrights in mid-career to develop new work and facilitate that work's exposure to a greater audience. Over the course of a season, each playwright develops a new full-length play inspired by Keen’s mission. The program culminates in a public reading series, where these new plays are shared with the Keen community, the larger theater industry, and the general public. The Keen Company Playwrights Lab is led by Jeremy Stoller, Keen Company’s Director of New Work.  Tickets are free and open to the public. For a full schedule of readings and reservations, please visit keencompany.org/readings. The Keen Playwrights Lab is produced with the support of the Dramatist Guild Fund.
