New Plays Aloud is a reading group for actors and playwrights, facilitated by Kate Rich. The group meets monthly on the last day of every month (unless there is a conflict with a holiday or other Pier One programming). Readings include short works, long works, newly published works, and works in progress. New Plays Aloud is free and open to the public. The location for the readings varies. Stay tuned for information on each month’s gathering!

This Month's Reading:
"Breath, Boom" by Kia Corthron
"Breath, Boom is a startling acute portrayal of Prix, a hardened female gang member in New York, whose only escape from her narrow, abusive life is an obsession with creating the perfect fireworks display. The play is based heavily on research into the lives of young women who choose to lead violent lives on the streets. It captures the tough and often poetic language that people who inhabit a world cut off from normal existence use to both mask and portray a perilous existence."
