About New Works Lab:

Each year Waterwell commissions a new full length play by an emerging playwright written specifically for the actors in their senior year in the Drama Program @ PPAS.

Designed to stimulate the creation of high-quality new plays for young actors, the New Works Lab offers emerging and established playwrights the chance to develop their work with the support of professional directors and designers and a cast of exceptionally talented high school artists. The students, in turn, not only get to experience the process of new play development process but also collaborate with an exciting new voice in the American theater. In so doing they learn to embrace change and surprise, to stay curious and compassionate, and to feel the power of their own voice and their own story – skills that will serve them in whatever they choose to pursue.
