Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Showcase new talent for the stage, both actors and playwrights as well as directors and new stage managers. We seek to be a first stepping stone for those hoping to make careers in theater.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
A nual new scripts competitions to find new playwrights.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Unfortunately we have had difficulty finding board members who want to work rather than be merely figureheads, so our capabilities have been limited.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We brought one of our productions from Chicago to a New York stage in early 2019! And we will be holding a One-Act Play Festival in May with the theme of Women's Empowerment, featuring two plays with strong women heroes.
