ABOUT COMPANION PLAYS

After our Summer Playwriting Intensive ends, we want to continue our relationships with these emerging playwrights and their work. Each year, we ask alums from the Summer Intensive to write 10-minute companion plays inspired by a Curious Theatre Company mainstage production. The plays are then performed on the set of the play that inspired their pieces during a staged festival.

This continuation of their journey in writing allows young playwrights the opportunity to hone their craft year-round and receive mentorship and support from Curious.
