GreenHouse New Play Festival

HotCity Theatre presets its second annual GreenHouse New Play Festival.

Designed to provide playwrights with a platform for feedback and work-shopping with professional actors and directors, the GreenHouse New Play Festival has selected six plays out of over 200 submissions from around the world. These six plays will be presented as free staged readings.

All readings will take place in the Rialto Ballroom, on the fourth floor of the Centene Center.

Guest adjudicators will select two jury prize winners from these six plays, and those two plays will receive world premiere productions with the GreenHouse in 2008.
