PRODUCTION HISTORY
Using the resources of Studio R&D, we develop new work through readings, workshops, residencies, commissions, and world premieres. Since 2011, when Studio began incorporating new plays into our artistic programming, we have commissioned 20 artists and premiered 14 new plays. In 2019, we launched Work in Process, a public reading series of plays currently under commission by Studio.
