Ars Nova’s Play Group puts the theater on party shuffle with song-inspired short plays that’ll be stuck in your head for weeks.

Featuring tracks by Annie Baker, Bekah Brunstetter, Evan Cabnet, Dylan Dawson, Liz Flahive, Sam Forman, Nick Jones, Steven Levenson, Barry Levey, Carly Mensch, Rachel Shukert, Mat Smart, Adam Szymkowicz and Samuel Brett Williams. Directed by Evan Cabnet, Sam Gold, Shira Milikowsky, Meredith McDonough and Kerry Whigham.
Play Group is a vibrant and eclectic group of emerging writers who gather twice a month at Ars Nova to share new work and get peer feedback. The group offers members the chance to develop their plays with peer support; to be inspired by each other’s work; to form collaborative relationships; and to build a strong sense of community within Ars Nova.
