The Inaugural Harvard Playwrights Festival
A reading festival of new undergraduate plays.
The Inaugural Harvard Playwrights Festival will present as staged readings the plays of ten undergraduate playwrights, in collaboration with professional directors and with graduate actors and dramaturgs from the A.R.T. Institute for Advanced Theatre Training.
The Playwrights Festival is a new initiative conceived by Christine Evans and developed with Gideon Lester in close collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Theatre Training and the Office for the Arts. The Festival is the culmination of Evans and Lester’s advanced playwriting course, which provides Harvard’s most promising undergraduate playwrights with rigorous dramaturgical guidance and unprecedented professional support. The Festival will feature a conversation after each performance with the student playwrights, directors, dramaturgs and course lecturers Christine Evans, Briggs-Copeland Lecturer on English, and Gideon Lester, Director for the American Repertory Theatre (A.R.T.) 08/09 Season and Lecturer in Dramatic Arts.
