T4tP is proud to announce that our new Creative Producer and Co-Op Member, Haley Rice, is partnering with us on her New Works series!

Haley Rice has produced and curated over a dozen sold out staged readings in NYC since 2023. Scripts are paired with directors, casts, and a set of goals for the reading. Scripts are performed in front of a live audience with lights, sound, and then a guided talk back session (free wine and refreshments provided) with the cast and creative team.

Some of these plays have gone on to have full productions-- including Vaping Kills (Under St. Marks Theatre) by Franca Paschen, Axioms (Caltech's MACH 33: The Festival of New Science-driven plays, The Neurodivergent Play Series) by Aubrey Clyburn, and our own production of Sperm Donor Wanted (or the unnamed baby play) (finalist for the 2023 L. Arnold Weissberger New Play Award) by T.J. Young had a reading in the New Works Series

Other New Works alumni include:

Laurie Savage, Kayli Jamison, Dan McCoy, Gillian Durkee, Evan Simone Frazier, and Ryan Tofil,

Also, if you’d like to work directly with Haley on a script—you can contact her directly about her 8-Week Writing Labs through the Writers’ Block at haley@theatre4thepeople.org

Readings and Workshops

The easiest way to get involved with T4tP is to tell us you need a reading of a new play or to workshop a project or even just an idea. Or that you want to help us make new plays happen.

We help writers get readings at other companies as well. (We’re not jealous!) We just love to facilitate artists helping artists.

Below is a brief little visual peak at just a few of the readings, explorations, and workshops we’ve done over the years.
