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.
