FireWorks was a 5-week program for playwrights to develop and specify their plays in 2023.
About the program
Each FireWorks playwright received:
-
8 hours of rehearsal space a week
-
A cast of actors, suited to their play's character breakdown
-
A director, who works with them to create a workshop process suited to their rewrite goals
-
$200 stipend
​
Given those resources, playwrights and directors were free to organize their rehearsal processes as they like.
FireWorks was run with the generous support of the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural Center and the Brick Aux.
