<p class="MsoNormal">SpringBoard features staged readings of new scripts by local writers. The series places a special emphasis on developing directors for new work, nurturing strong relationships between directors and playwrights, and engaging the audience
in the process. SpringBoard is NOT actors standing at music stands. This is staged work that conveys the rare excitement that comes from getting up on stage with little time to prepare. Audience members give feedback and engage in post-show discussions to
help local playwrights improve their work.<o:p></o:p></p>
