2019 New Voices, New Plays, New York
Each year, Broad Horizons invites playwrights to submit scripts for its new-plays series, called New Voices, New Plays, New York. Out of the many submissions we receive from around the world, we select those that demonstrate strong potential for engaging audiences; embody our commitment to distinctive voices, styles, and points of view; and incorporate innovative approaches in making theatre. Selected plays undergo a development process that culminates in a staged reading performed for a live audience in New York City. In this way, the company encourages and supports playwrights in developing their plays and brings professional recognition to their talent.
In 2021, the company recognized:
Hitch by James McLindon
The company produced a reading of Hitch on Monday, July 15, 2019 at Manhattan Theatre Club Creative Center in New York City.
