The Writing is Live festival presents a combination of readings and workshop productions of new plays by M.F.A. Playwrights from Brown.  The plays are acted and directed by students in the Brown/ Trinity M.F.A. program, Brown University’s undergraduate programs, and the community at large. This yearly festival plays with the idea of the live, allowing the development and evolution of new work in conversation with the writer, directors, actors, designers, and audience.  All are collaborators in the exciting life of the new performance script.
