NEW PLAY PROJECT
Pioneers in Values-Driven Theatre
History
New Play Project was founded April 2006
by Brigham Young University students James Goldberg, Arisael Rivera,
Julie Saunders and Jennefer Franklin as an attempt to produce new play
scripts they developed. Bianca Dillard almost immediately joined the group and developed the continuing workshop program.
In August 2006, sponsored by the BYU Experimental Theatre Group, it held its first production, a 10-minute play festival titled "Love Songs and Negotiations." In October 2006 it held another play festival titled "Palms," which featured plays revolving around religious themes. At the beginning of December 2006, it held its last play festival of the year titled "In Progress."
In 2007, New Play Project officially separated itself from BYU and was incorporated with the state of Utah as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The next seven shows were performed in Provo City Library's Bullock Room. In December of 2007, New Play Project moved to its current home renting Provo Theatre Company's space on the corner of 1st North and 1st East.
Since its founding two years ago, New Play Project has workshopped over 200 plays and produced 70.
