TFA’s First Light Play Development Program

• High School and Mason Students
• Professional Playwrights

Overview

Theater of the First Amendment's First Light Discovery Program provides playwrights with an opportunity to continue to develop new plays while working with professional directors, dramaturgs and actors. The weeklong workshop culminates in a public staged reading with audience feedback.

First Light features the work of professional playwrights, as well as winning plays from the Student Playwright Competition and Mentorship Program for Fairfax County high school students and George Mason University students. See Upcoming Events for the latest schedule of readings.

Admission is free.

A detailed schedule of information will be posted here in early 2009.
