2012/2013 Playwrights Unit

Since September, four Chicago-based playwrights have been meeting twice a month with members of the Goodman’s artistic staff to read and engage with each other’s work as part of the 2012/2013 Goodman Playwrights Unit. Out of this process four brand new plays have emerged, and this summer audiences will have a chance to hear these new works, read by some of Chicago’s most talented actors.
