Sandra Nordgren founded and imple-ments the New Works Reading Series
(NewWorksReadingSeries.weebly.com) presented at TSRC.This series provides a forum for up-and-coming playwrights, composers, and lyricists to develop their work. There is feedback in a Q & A after the reading. |
Over 175 readings and an offering of 35 productions, 16 development work-shops, 11 short play festivals, and 2 theater playwright residencies resulted from this Reading Series, all in NYC and all at no cost to the playwright.
The readings are directed by directors from TSRC’s Directors Unit and performed by members of the repertory. |
Many of the works in this reading series come from the New Works of Merit Playwriting Contest, the first 12 of the New York Theatre Experience's anthologies: Plays and Playwrights. The anthologies are comprised of the best new plays and musicals reviewed yearly, since 2000, by Martin Denton’s nytheatre.com, one of our country's most prestigious theater websites.
