PLAYWRIGHTS AND COMPOSERS

who received readings and/or full productions

from October 1972 - June 30, 1984

Titles in BOLDFACE indicate full production

The fine print: 1) I cannot include the playwrights and composers who worked at NPT after I left.  I just do not have that information and 2) someday when I have time I will put the details about each production on this web site.  For now, the names & titles alone will have to do.  Again, thanks to all the volunteers, the technicians, the crews, actors, directors, designers and donors who made these adventurous twelve years possible.
