tKAPOW has a responsibility to nurture the great works of tomorrow by supporting playwrights and providing an atmosphere of encouragement for their work.
From our current Strategic Plan Goals (rev. 2021):
Create a new play development program that supports the strongest options for developing new work that will broaden theatre KAPOW’s artistic scope and attract new audiences.
Key Actions:
1: Create a structure and process for developing and fully realizing new work
2: Cultivate long-term relationships with playwrights and creators working in dance, music, and design
3: Expand relationships with other theatres and arts organizations to share information about exciting artists and the work they are passionate about creating
What the playwrights are saying:
“Having the opportunity to work with a theatre company and other playwrights and have public readings and eventually a performance – this is what is needed to create new works for the theatre. I see this as life support.”
“It's been EXTREMELY helpful and rewarding. I would do it again in a second.”
