About New Works
at The Wilbury Theatre Group
Founded in response to the clear need for an artists and new works development program in the city of Providence, the New Works program at The Wilbury Group allows audiences to experience the "birth" of a play. Throughout the rehearsal, workshop, and eventual run of the show, the playwright and director work together to make constant changes in response to audience reactions and feedback.
Encompassing commissions, readings, workshops and full-scale productions, The Wilbury Group's New Works series is meant to nurture and serve the specific needs of a project throughout its evolution, helping qualified artists at all stages of their career take their chosen work to the next level of development.
