Mission Statement – The New York Playwrights Lab (Productions).
BACKGROUND: The New York Playwrights Lab was founded by playwright Israel Horovitz in 1975, as a writing workshop for established playwrights. An ever-changing group of 15 well-known playwrights populates The New York Playwrights Lab. Present and former Lab members include such distinguished American playwrights as Horovitz, Wendy Wasserstein, Peter Parnell, Michael Brady, Elizabeth Diggs, David Rimmer, Richard Vetere, Neena Beber, Nicole Burdette, Erin Cressida Wilson, Matthew Weiss, Seth Svi Rosenfeld, Jonathan Marc Sherman, Daniel Reitz, Max Mayer, Kenneth Lonergan, Frank Pugliese, Warren Leight, Marlene Mayer, among others. Lab members begin a new play on the same day in Autumn. Throughout the year, Lab members meet for bi-monthly sessions during which 5 pages per week are read aloud from each developing play, and these pages are critiqued by Lab members. In the New York Playwrights Lab 35+ year history, every single play ever written in the Lab has been produced professionally, without exception.
MISSION: The mission of the new company is to be a producing wing of the existing New York Playwrights Lab ... to showcase plays that have been developed through the unique New York Playwrights Lab process. The new company will produce a four-play season, annually, featuring famous and/or good plays that were created in the Lab during its 35+ year history, as well as world premieres of plays from the ongoing Lab.
