The mission of The Players Guild Theatre's The New Play Conservatory program is to bridge new theatre production and innovative artistry on the national and local level. We aim to awaken, inspire, and develop with artistic excellence new or re-imagined texts for performance with an acute sensitivity to theatrical collaboration and master craftsmanship.
Our objectives are two-fold:
- To produce and develop full length premiere plays that engage audiences and artists in a way that speaks to, reveals, and enhances the human experience
- To assemble, develop, and debut playwrights, directors, and actors who create and train and work as an ensemble
