Howl Playwrights, a local collective dedicated to developing bold, socially engaged new work, is presenting a series of short plays that will be performed in The CENTER’s black box space. These one-acts (and one full-length play) explore timely themes with humor, heart, and a willingness to take risks.
The CENTER has been offering opportunities for the Hudson Valley community to create since 1994. We hope you will join us as a participant, a student, or an audience member!
