Write Act Rep’s newest offering,
Progression, is a series of original plays produced at Write Act Repertory
whose commitment to providing a stage for upcoming playwrights, has not wavered
for the last five years. Producing Artistic Director John Lant, has combined a
series of plays that are related by a common goal or theme. By offering this
series to new playwrights, Write Act’s festival of “New Works” programming
cultivates the whole process into a single entity that defines their goal to
become next voice in the Los Angeles Theatre scene.
Lant states, “Write Act Rep’s
goal is to celebrate our shared experience of live theatre by producing new
plays, engineering an artistic renaissance that would touch every aspect of
the Rep's New Works series. I want to explore the most creative aspects of the
theatrical experience. By sustaining the highest level of artistic product, in
spite of the depressed economic climate, it is my intention to choose plays
that would speak to the diverse community of playwright’s here in Los Angeles,
by participating in the further development of American Theatre. This series
is designed to enhance the visibility of the company through dynamic design,
visual metaphor, and imaginative staging. These opportunities allow
playwrights to make significant progress on their new works, restructure
existing works, and view their plays fully produced onstage.”
