Founded in 1998 by Michael Weller, Susann Brinkley, and Angelina Fiordellisi, and currently facilitated by Pamela Perrell, Mentor Project, the cornerstone of Cherry Lane Theatre's development programs, engages pre-eminent dramatists in one-to-one mentoring relationships with aspiring playwrights for an entire theatre season. During their tenure the Mentors help the young writers hone their craftsmanship as their respective plays move toward the final phase of the program - a showcase production.
