Nashville Repertory Theatre’s Ingram New Works Festival in Nashville, Tennessee presents the latest new plays born from our Ingram New Works Project’s playwrights’ lab livestreaming on the global, commons-based peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on May 11, 12, 13, and 14.

The Ingram New Works Festival is a celebration of new work born and fostered in Nashville Rep’s Ingram New Works Project under the care and guidance of Nashville Rep’s Producing Artistic Director René D. Copeland, Playwright-in-Residence Nate Eppler, and our 2015-16 Ingram New Works Fellow, Pulitzer Prize nominee Rebecca Gilman. The Festival presents staged readings of our lab playwrights’ new works performed by outstanding Nashville actors. Each reading will be followed by a talkback, bringing the audience into the conversations with the playwright, director, and cast.

Join the conversation! Tweet your questions/comments to @nashrep using #howlround to participate in the talkback immediately following each reading.

Wednesday, May 11 at 5pm PDT (Los Angeles) / 7pm CDT (Chicago) / 8pm EDT (New York)

The Secretary by Kyle John Schmidt

Ruby runs a small-town gun company that aims to protect women by helping them protect themselves. But as production begins on the company’s newest model, guns start going off—and no one’s pulling the trigger. This exciting new play is a quirky, offbeat comedy for a world that’s up in arms.
