</p><div style="text-align:left"><br>
The Manhattan Project has always been committed to filling our stage
with diverse faces and voices, and we're continuing that mission by
offering a platform to America's <em>least </em>represented playwrights; those who do not actually have faces or voices.<br>
<br>
The Imaginary Playwrights' Festival will offer guidance and support to
imaginary playwrights as they work to bring their hypothetical plays
from the pretend page to the non-corporeal stage. Imaginary playwrights
will work with a daydream director and make-believe actors to create an
exciting, edgy, worthwhile play that will somehow appeal to mainstream
regional theatre audiences. Imaginary playwrights will each be assigned
their own dramaturg who will be helpful and informative. <br>
<br>
Imaginary playwrights will also have the opportunity to take advantage
of exciting master classes taught by some of theatre's most thrilling
imaginary playwrights, including Mr Snuffleupagus, Harvey the Rabbit,
and America's favorite fairytale creature, <a href="http://facebook.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b&id=b3108c2ce1&e=c3ea71f0f7" style="color:rgb(43,170,223);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Erin Mallon</a>!<br>
