TBOT_S01E05 - The Farm and A Strange Loop
Today on the podcast, we talk about “The Farm”, an operation designed to assist playwrights on their journey from idea, to page, to stage.
REJECTED WORKING TITLES:
Not getting married today!!
A Strange Loop!
Tiny Desk Concert
The FARM's mission is to develop new plays and musicals as a resource for theatrical producers and theater-producing entities.
The age of COVID-19 has presented us all with many challenges. Smaller theaters, especially non-profits that support new works, are struggling to find monies to reopen their doors. Some have closed their doors permanently. Many of these producing organizations are backlogged with productions they contracted before the pandemic.
The FARM sees this challenge as an excellent opportunity to work with writers to ready their work for production once live audiences and theaters feel safe to return to full seasons.
