Show Description:
The Colombi New Plays Festival introduces Cleveland audiences, through public readings, to new works written by Cleveland writers, most often in the early stages of development. Some scripts can also be in various stages of re-writing/creation. Playwrights curate post reading survey questions to garner audience feedback that can help them to further develop their work! The festival creates a platform for writers, readers, and audiences to work in collaborative ways. Be a part of the playwriting process!
