Second Stage Theater (Carole Rothman, President & Artistic Dir; Lisa Post, Interim Executive Dir) continues its commitment to nurturing American playwrights with The 2023 Judith Champion Reading Series and the inaugural Nancy Denovan Musical Reading. Funded by Christopher and David R Murray in memory of David’s mother, the Nancy Denovan Musical Reading champions new voices in musical theater. Both programs support early career writers with one-night-only readings open to the public. All readings will take place on Monday nights in April and May. New Voices will kick off with THE APIARY by Kate Douglas, directed by Kate Whoriskey, on April 24, 2023, followed by THE WOODS by Jahna Ferron-Smith on May 1, and CHINESE REPUBLICANS by Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew on May 22.  Additionally, the Nancy Denovan Musical Reading will be BRITTON & THE STING on May 15. The readings are free and available at 2ST.com.  All readings will begin at 6:30 PM and will take place at Second Stage’s Tony Kiser (305 West 43rd St). Press contact: Polk & Co (917/261-3988)...
