Emerging Playwright Forums

Chapel Off Chapel proudly presents a series of forums for Emerging Playwrights. This program offers writers, whose work is yet to be shown, an opportunity for rehearsed readings of their work and invaluable audience feedback on the plays. Join us after the reading in the Chapel Foyer for nibblies and a lazy Sunday drink.
