Room 115 | Fine Arts Building This workshop offers an overview of resources for new play development and theatre season planning, with a focus on the New Play Exchange (NPX). This resource for playwrights and other theatre artists, sponsored by the National New Play Network (NNPN), has a searchable database of plays posted by individual playwrights. We will explore such features as search functionality, writing recommendations for plays, and curated lists.
