Workshop, Readings, and Signature Staged Readings
Agent submissions may be sent to theater@chq.org
CTC has been committed to developing and producing new work since 2005.
Over the last eighteen years, CTC has dedicated our resources to launching new work onto the stage and into the industry. New Play Workshops (NPWs) have been at the center of this endeavor. Previously, NPWs were staged and produced with design and technical support. Moving forward, we will be using a more fluid, less produced model for our New Play Workshops and Readings: shifting our focus toward the text and the individual needs of each project and playwright. Depending upon what will best serve the play in its current stage of development, we may still offer occasional staging or design elements.
New Play Development at CTC is made possible in part by a generous grant from The Roe Green Foundation.
