Each showcased playwright joins the development process to work on their play with a company of professional actors and a director in preparation for a public reading.<\/p>\n<p>Each season, Florida Rep produces a wide variety of comedies, dramas, musicals, and new plays in its professional season and seeks to curate a PlayLab Festival that reflects that variety. Florida Rep will consider plays looking for Rolling World Premiere partners with NNPN member theatres. Playwrights or agents will receive a confirmation of their submission.<\/p>\n<p>Florida Rep often chooses plays from its festival to be produced in subsequent seasons and seeks plays for submission that are ready to move into the late stages of development and production.<\/p>\n<p>]]><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t ]]><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\ud83c\udfad NEW!
