Waterwell will present Workshop Commission for Dael Orlandersmith

1/13/2016 2:52pm


Waterwell continues its annual series of developmental workshop productions with a commission by Dael Orlandersmith for its senior Drama Class of 2016 at the Professional Performing Arts School (PPAS). The new play, SOME OF THE THINGS INSIDE, will be directed by Allison Talis and will premiere at PPAS in April 2016. Designed to stimulate the creation of high-quality new plays for young actors, Waterwell’s New Works Lab @ PPAS offers emerging and established playwrights the chance to develop their work with the support of professional directors and designers and a cast of exceptionally talented young artists. This annual workshop series presents stripped down, actor-centric productions that add to the canon of thematically rich, complex and original scripts and roles for student actors.  The cast will be comprised entirely of seniors in the Waterwell Drama Program at PPAS. Performances will take place April 13-16 at the Professional Performing Arts School. For more information, visit http://www.waterwell.org. Press contact: DKC/O&M (212/695-7400)...
