Belated Congrats to New Playwriting Fellows

With all the talk about encouraging New Plays I forgot to post about The Huntington's Announcement of their 2008 Playwriting Fellows!

This from Todd Williams at the Huntington's Blog:

HUNTINGTON ANNOUNCES 2008 PLAYWRITING FELLOWS

Program helps four local artists develop new work for the
stage.

BOSTON – The Huntington Theatre Company announced today its choices for the 2008 Huntington Playwriting Fellows program, which provides a structured environment for theatre artists to explore and talk about their work while
providing significant access to the company’s artistic staff and resources. The current class includes Boston-area playwrights Kirsten Greenidge, Jacqui Parker, Ken Urban, and Joyce Van Dyke. This is the third class since the program began in 2004. The Fellows meet together with Brownstein twice monthly for one year to
discuss creative ideas, receive critical input on their works, and learn the process of getting plays read at theatres across the country. In year two, they receive individual support focused on specific theatrical pieces they are developing.

To date, the Huntington has produced five plays by its Fellows.
