PLAYxPLAY: NAZARETH HASSAN
PLAYxPLAY is a free, monthly, staged-reading series that highlights the body of work of an emerging playwright by presenting an evening of their short works as directed by a rotating group of three directors and a company of collaborating actors. We offer audiences the rare opportunity to see a wide range of one writer's voice in one evening, while simultaneously offering the playwright the chance to see a variety of interpretations of their work by an array of artists.
The group is run by co-producers and resident directors: Jake Beckhard, Bryn Herdrich, and Lauren Zeftel.
