The Playwright's Laboratory is where resident playwrights, musicians and designers create and refine their work, ever striving to bring truth to the stage. Resident artists present ideas at various stages of development and employ a variety of mechanisms to stimulate their completion. These mechanisms include: table readings, improvisational workshops and public programs. In addition to providing an avenue for resident artists to explore and develop, the Playwright's Laboratory is also open to any emerging playwright whose work is under consideration by the company. This format allows us to engage talented actors, playwrights, directors, choreographers, musicians and designers, in an exchange of ideas and talents expanding the knowledge and experience of Afrikan Centered Theatre.
Submissions of work to be considered for development through our Playwright's Laboratory, and/or produced by MPAACT can be sent to:
