A new crop of local talent joins Goodman Theatre’s artistic team for the 2013/2014 Season. The four Chicago-based writers named to the fourth season of the Playwrights Unit—a year-long residency program designed to support and develop new works—include Andrew Hinderaker, Gift Theatre ensemble member; Mickle Maher, cofounder of Theater Oobleck; Anne García-Romero, a resident playwright at Chicago Dramatists; and Laura Schellhardt, who oversees undergraduate playwriting at Northwestern University. A partnership with Chicago Dramatists, the Playwrights Unit meets twice per month with members of the Goodman’s artistic team to discuss their plays-in-progress and provide feedback for one another. The program includes readings of the playwrights’ works-in-progress at Chicago Dramatists in early 2014, and culminates in summer 2014 with staged readings of their completed works at the Goodman.
