R&D Winter: The Dirt is Fertile by Alisha Espinosa

R&D Fall Session 2019
The Dirt is Fertile by Alisha Espinosa

New York City is called the concrete jungle, but what was it before concrete? Who did the city belong to when you could pull foot long clams out of the sand? In a place of constant change, it's easy to lose track of who causes the change and who's just learning to deal with. Through the eyes of different generations of New Yorkers, maybe it's easier to see what the city was, what it is, and what it could be.

What is R&D?
...Ours stands for Reading & Drinking!...

R&D is a free, informal gathering of artists invited to have a (totally optional) drink or two while volunteer performers read new works/ works-in-progress by independent playwrights. Past R&D pieces have ranged from short plays, one-acts, full lengths, to musical excerpts. Our free developmental reading series creates a laid-back environment for hearing pieces aloud while offering an opportunity for feedback.

Are you a playwright with a new/developing piece you wanna hear out loud (but aren't trying to drain your own resources $$$ to put up a reading on your own)? Let us do it! Submit your works here for consideration at our Spring R&D session! All lengths and genres accepted.
