Keen Company Artistic Director Jonathan Silverstein has announced his plans for Keen’s Playwrights Lab, including the playwrights for the 2022 Lab, readings from the 2021 participants, as well as a roundtable discussion with the ’21 playwrights on the process of developing new work. The 2022 Lab Playwrights participants will be Kristoffer Diaz (The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity), Sarah Schulman (Carson McCullers), and Anna Ziegler (Boy). Each year, the Keen Playwrights Lab brings together three mid-career playwrights to develop new full-length plays that uphold Keen's mission to create theater that champions identification and connection. Launched in 2014 by founding Director of New Work Mark Armstrong and Mr Silverstein, the Lab's mission is two-fold: to make Keen a home for new plays that speak deeply to our mission and vibrantly to the present moment; and to help address the dearth of development support for American playwrights who have evolved out of early-career status into the trenches of mid-career. Under the leadership of Keen’s Director of New Work Jeremy Stoller, the Keen Playwrights Lab is in its ninth season. The writers meet monthly to share, discuss, and develop work with their peers in a relaxed and supportive environment. The Playwrights Lab culminates with readings of these works in progress later this season, attended by the Keen community, the theater industry, and the general public.
