About the Playwright
Jennifer Lynne Roberts is a Vallejo-based playwright and producer with an MFA from CCA, a 3GT 2018 Brady Fellow, and Lead Artist for 3GT Investigates: Birth Rights, co-founder and producer of Repro Rights!, previous Head Writer and Associate Artist with Wily West Productions, and past President of the Playwrights Center. Her work has been seen in Chicago, Seattle, Ohio, New York, and throughout the Bay Area.
About the Salon Series: 3GT staged readings are script-in-hand, but our talented professional actors are so accomplished that you may forget its just a reading! Audience members enjoy the play and refreshments, and then get the opportunity to participate in a dramaturg-led conversation with the playwright, director and cast. Because these readings are part of 3GT's core new play development program, playwrights may present their work in any phase of development. So you might see the very first reading of a brand new work, or a polished staged reading of a script that is ready for production. It’s a unique, insider way to be a part of the extraordinary experience of getting new plays from page to stage.
3GT gratefully acknowledges the Phoenix Arts Association (Linda Ayres-Frederick, Artistic Director) for sponsoring our Salon Reading Series residency at the Phoenix Theatre.
