My Nonprofit Reviews

If you want to experience the cutting edge of theatre, there's no greater place in NYC to go than the Lark Theatre Development Co. I've attended several readings there, and whether it's a big-name playwright or someone whom the theatre world-at-large hasn't heard of yet (but certainly ought to), I've enjoyed the quality and innovation behind the works I've seen. The Lark cares about fostering the growth of plays that aren't your average "kitchen-sink drama." They have an uncanny ability to choose original works that come out of left-field, relevant to the issues we face in society today while remaining untraditional in their execution. I love how they connect playwrights with us, the audience. At the Playwright's Panel event for Playwright's Week, in addition to complementary snacks and champagne, I was able to converse with several playwrights after the event, sharing their perspectives on the theatre while able to further discuss their creative process. Where else can you do this with playwrights? It was so open an environment, so communal. I will be returning for many more events there.
