TDPS New Play Workshop Workshop Reading
This staged reading of new plays is the culmination of the weeklong TDPS New Play Workshop. Student playwrights at UMD were given the opportunity to develop a short play in a supportive environment. Each selected playwright works with a mentor—a professional dramatist living and working in the Baltimore-DC corridor. Mentors serve as guides through the process of rehearsing with a director and actors, filtering and implementing feedback, and revising.
The TDPS New Play Workshop is supported in part by the Dramatists Guild of America.

Big Ten Bhangra
Big 10 Bhangra competition will be held on February 25, 2017! Bhangra is a traditional folk dance that originates from the Northern part of India, Punjab. Though Bhangra began as a way to celebrate harvests, it has evolved to being a way of celebrating many diverse occasions and festivities. In recent years, Bhangra has enjoyed a spike in popularity worldwide, and though it has come far from its initial humble beginnings, it has really left a mark on many Western countries, as they try to incorporate their own flavor to it.
