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.

This is About You by Edith Freni

YOU works with dolphins at a run-down facility in Key Largo, Florida. She's just moved into her best friend's apartment. He thinks of her as a roommate, but she wants more. And she's willing to do just about anything to get it. This electric new play explores the depths of denial and what happens when you finally realize that the thing you so desperately want is not the thing that you need.
