NEW PLAY PROJECT
Pioneers in Values-Driven Theatre
Artistic Director
James Goldberg is the author of 26 produced plays and numerous other as-yet-unproduced works. Prior to the founding of the New Play Project, he had also worked on original productions of 14 new plays, and led various organizations focused on new work.
His current writing efforts outside New Play Project include a short screenplay entitled Mammon loosely based on an old Virginia ghost story, a full-length play to complement a Holocaust exhibit coming to BYU in September 2008 on Jewish humor and survival, and a full-length screenplay following the rise of the early Christian community, from shortly after the Resurrection until shortly after the destruction of the temple, through the eyes of the Apostle John.
In addition to his own projects, Goldberg loves to help develop other writers' work through the New Play Project workshop program. His long-term artistic goal is to become "the Steve Nash of new play development," an artist whose talent is as much in his positive effect on collaborators as in his own individual accomplishments.
