TDPS' New Play Reading Series is a unique collaboration that brings undergraduate and graduate students together in a repertory company to produce two to three staged readings of contemporary plays each semester.
Working alongside students from the Graduate Group in Performance Studies, undergraduate company members get a taste of the early stages of new play development, have opportunities to meet and work with emerging playwrights and directors, and perform in staged readings open to the public.
