A Note from the Artistic Director
Greetings!
Welcome to our Spring Solos: 101 Humiliating Stories, The Absolute
Brightness of Leonard Pelkey and Harry Clarke! And also, thanks for coming
to our Meet the Artist new play readings. All of these solo shows started as
readings in our Summer Solos series, and now we’re thrilled to be able to
bring them to you as full productions!
These Meet the Artist new play readings were selected from over 300
submissions from playwrights from all over the world. We are always grateful
that so many playwrights share their work with us, and especially excited to
bring you new work that needs your response and feedback to grow.
Unbelievably, this season is nearly over, but we do look forward to seeing
you over the summer at the Visual Arts Center of NJ for our Summer Solos
series. We’re always so happy to see you, and to share stories that touch,
delight and enrich us all.
All the best,
Laura Ekstrand
