PAST PRODUCTIONS
This year's plays were selected through a blind submission process from over 1,100 plays. Twelve plays were presented as part of the festival the week of October 8-12, 2014 at Teatro Circulo in NYC. One additional play was selected as an alternate, and is published along with the produced plays in the second volume of The Collective:10 Play Anthology.
The plays were presented in rep in two programs of six plays each: Program A and Program B.
