On four January evenings, UP presents free, exploratory readings of four new plays in various stages of development. These readings always incorporate talk-backs between the audience and playwrights. Many of these plays have gone on to full productions.
Our 2020 readings will be 1/4, 1/11, 1/18 & 1/25 @ 7pm at Good Shepherd Reception Hall (formerly Inwood Academy), 108 Cooper Street, Inwood.
