The Collective:10 Play Anthology, Vol. 1: 12 original short plays: Volume 1 - Tapa blanda

Selected from hundreds of blind submissions, this volume features 12 original short plays that premiered as part of The Collective:10 Play Festival in New York City in October 2013. Also included are two unseen plays, selected as festival alternates, PLUS a dialogue with the playwrights about their inspirations, the process and these particular plays. The works range from intense drama to biting comedy, all brimming with truth and action – a provocative and engaging collection of relatable stories.

The 14 playwrights included here have also been recognized by Samuel French, Dramatists Play Service, the John Lennon Songwriting Foundation, and NYFA. Their other work has appeared in theatre productions around the world, including at The Barrow Group, The Flea, Joe’s Pub, Steppenwolf, The Kennedy Center, and on Broadway; on television, in Chelsea Lately and Saturday Night Live; and in major motion pictures, including The Place Beyond the Pines and Bride Wars.
