City Theatre’s investment in new plays typically begins long before the first rehearsal. Sometimes artistic director Tracy Brigden will commission a playwright to write a particular piece; other times, she will schedule plays by writers who’ve been here before or whom she wants to introduce to you.
Regardless of where the plays come from, the foundation for our investment in new plays and playwrights comes from the members of our New Play Circle. These passionate theatre-goers understand the long-term nature of investing in new work and want their giving to have a direct impact on the core of City’s mission.
Membership in the New Play Circle is available to donors of $3,000 or more. Besides the benefits the Annual Fund page, New Play Circle members also receive complimentary parking and refreshments at all City Theatre performances, an invitation to the annual New Play Circle Dinner at Café Allegro, and much more.
