This program features four emerging Latinx Playwrights mentored by four legends of our field to shape four new plays. There were a series of roundtables that actively engaged the playwright in our Cohort's process. And now we have reached the final stage in our Intensive with the Industry Reading at the Kabyitos Theater in The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center. We have secretly been renovating this space over the past year and a half with new infrastructure, equipment as well as dedication to bringing audiences to this historical venue in the city. We are so excited to have our Industry Readings be the first official LPC event at our space.
