Devised Theatre Recognitions

We were impressed about the depth of the pieces this year. The varied styles and themes gave us a lot of material for our conversation as we look to place devising at the forefront of theatre making in our new reality.

A Conversation with NPP’s Production Stage Manager, Gabrielle Scott

Ten-Minute Plays PROGRAM

Credits and dramaturgical notes on the six plays selected for this year’s readings. Brace yourself for some intense moments in these extraordinary short plays!
