“One of the most important theatrical events of the season.” – Richard Sanford, Columbus Underground
The Next Stage Initiative will turn the Studio 2 Theatre into a hothouse for new works in January! Be part of the growth & nurturing of some great plays as they come into their own.
If you’ve been following AVLT for a while, you know that we’ve a vested interest in daring, new plays. We’ve presented dozens of free readings over the years, and the Next Stage Initiative is the logical step into the future.
The Next Stage Initiative returns (for its fourth year) in January 2016 with 6 hot playwrights and their young plays in progress.
