SAN DIEGO–Cygnet Theatre, in collaboration with Playwrights Project, will present the third annual Playwrights in Process: New Play Festival this week.

In addition to presenting four readings of new plays, the three-day festival will include three workshops for audiences, playwrights, and theatre artists. Attendees will be able to engage further with each playwright during facilitated talk-backs following the readings. Playwrights in Process is generously sponsored by Bill and Judy Garrett.

The workshops are designed to introduce curious audiences to the art of new play development. Workshop panelists are subject to change.
