Playwrights Local received over 50 submissions for its 2016 Open Call. This free process involved having all scripts read by at least two volunteer responders, with finalists being read by at least three. Among the many excellent scripts we received, the following were chosen. We are pleased to announce these selections for our Fall 2016/Spring 2017 programs.
