 Friends! Neighbors! Colleagues! Playwrights! Peers!

Please join us in the Off-Broadway Theater for the

2023 Yale Playwrights Festival!

Sunday, March 5th

It’s time once again for us to support our peers and indulge our passion for the human revelation that is the play in progress! Nothing is quite so beautiful! We will be gathering at the Off-Broadway Theater on Sunday, March 5th, in a marathon of readings and discussions of new work! Your generosity, your dramaturgical acumen, your sense of comedy, and the radiance of your spirit are deeply necessary and richly welcome! There will be food hanging around the theater, as there always is or should be, and four luminous new, nascent works will be read and discussed:

Seeds by Awuor Onguru; directed by Semilore Ola

Mentors: Prof. Toni Dorfman, Edwin Sanchez

1:00 pm

Theater takes a village; it is the word made flesh, and it requires, for its fullest realization, a body of witnesses! Please join us! We’re not starting til you get there!
