CLIPPINGS:

A NEW PLAY FESTIVAL

new work, reading, workshop, festival

CLIPPINGS is a night of short plays by young and emerging Philadelphia-based playwrights in a reading format for PHILLY THEATER WEEK.

This process is inspired by the Equinox New Play Festival at the late University of the Arts, where TBD’s Artistic Team met while working in undergrad! “Equinox” was a student run festival for students, by students, that allowed UArtists to take risks and experiment with different ways of producing theater. TBD aims to carry this tradition forward and continue to create a space for young creatives to enter the industry and discover their artistic voice.
