Play In the Box is a series that offers member playwrights an opportunity to present their never before seen plays, of any length, before an audience.
The plays, all self-produced by the playwrights featuring actors and directors of their choice, will range from readings to fully staged performances. Following each play, the audience will be asked to become part of the creative process through talk-backs that can help the playwright identify what works and what doesn’t in the play. On a given Friday evening each month, playwrights are afforded an opportunity to present their plays to the public and further the development of their works in progress. Join us later this year for more Play In The Box! Details about this performance below. Upcoming plays in 2019 Play In The Box Series This service is free for member playwrights! If you would like more information, send us an email.

2018 Play In The Box Events
November 30th - The Magic of Nothing by Misha Sinclair
Notice: This play contains strong sexual content and graphic language. Audience discretion is advised.
Dulcian, a middle-aged woman still in the peak of her prime finds herself at a prickly crossroads as she tries, valiantly, to be everything for everyone - ready, willing and able for Nathanial, her hot-blooded, much younger French lover, and a sage, maternal guiding light for Justine, her teenage niece on the precipice of discovering her own sexuality and all too eager to take the leap. When the past begins to ravage the present, unearthing scars she thought were long buried, and playfulness turns ugly and dark, Dulcian is pushed to choose, knowing that the consequences of her choice will most likely be irrevocable. Trusted confidant George tries to carve a saving path, but his counsel may be too late. Which way will she go – or is there only one way out?
