New Stages Amplified
Oct 13 – Nov 20, 2011 in Goodman's Owen Theatre
2 hours
The 2011/2012 Owen subscription season starts with something entirely new: New Stages Amplified. Building on the success of our long running new play festival, New Stages, this special event—perfect for anyone who loves new plays and insider access—offers audiences the chance to experience never-before-seen work from rising-star playwrights in a setting where the play is fully produced, but not elaborately staged; professional and polished, but still open to your insights and observations.
Patrons are invited to stay after the show and talk directly with the artists about their artistic process.
