 THIS IS WITTENBERG by Lauren Gunderson - Based on the true history of Hamlet’s genesis; science and fiction converge when a Nobleman and a Prince end up as grad school roommates.

HUNGER by Anna Moench - In the sandy hills of China’s Loess Plateau, a farming couple mourns the death of their only son. Their search for an illegal afterlife bride is complicated by the fact that before his death their son committed an act of horrifying violence, leaving them outcasts in their community.

HALFWAY, NEBRASKA by Briandaniel Oglesby - Sheila must drive her troubled adoptive son, Nate, to Nebraska before the sunset of the Safe Haven law, which permits parents to abandon their children at hospitals to become wards of the state.

TRANQUIL by Andrew Rosendorf - An estranged brother returns home years after causing his sister to become paraplegic and is forced to confront his actions as well as his sister's budding sexuality. 

DENNY AND LILA by August Schulenburg – Jabber tells us what happens to legendary con artists Denny and Lila when an Alabama con goes wrong.

#NYC by Kyle Warren - As cataclysm looms, six New Yorkers’ lives intersect, leading a power-hungry aide, a struggling author and an outspoken journalist to uncover a devastating series of lies.

SECRET IDENTITY by Chris Weikel - A teenager must deal with the constant humiliation of the school bully, his changing ideas of who he is sexually and creatively, and try to balance his relationship between his real-world best friend and the increasingly intrusive fictional characters he’s created to help him through the day.

ABOUT PLAYWRIGHTS' WEEK
Playwrights' Week playwrights participate in an intensive seven-day retreat where they focus on self-stated developmental goals with support from their creative teams, peer writers and Lark's staff. As part of this process the writers are provided professional actors, a director, and ten hours of rehearsals before presenting their works-in-progress to the public in a rehearsal format. They also participate in events designed to foster a community among their peers and introduce them to dramatists and other industry professionals.

Playwrights' Week is supported this year by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the Office of New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. The Washington Jefferson Hotel is the official hotel sponsor of Playwrights' Week.

WITH LOUIS OZAWA CHANGCHIEN, KATHARINE POWELL, DAVID RASCHE

When Assemblyman Julius Lee makes a bid for Congress, the ghosts of his college days come back to haunt him.
