With generous support from the Kaplan Foundation, Cotuit Center for the Arts is participating in a new collaboration designed to workshop four original plays by four local playwrights over the course of one year.  Theater partners include Cotuit Center for the Arts, Harwich Junior Theatre, Provincetown Theater, and Woods Hole Theater Company.

Each work will be presented in staged readings four times, once each season over the course of a year, in four venues from the upper Cape to the lower Cape, reaching four different audiences.  The partners each invited a local playwright and asked that they pen a new full length play for up to six actors. Readings will take place in the four theaters simultaneously, the first with each playwright in the “home” of their presenter, then rotating between the four venues.

Featured playwrights are Bronwen Prosser (Cotuit Center for the Arts), Susan Kosoff (Harwich Junior Theatre),  Candace Perry (Provincetown Theater) and Joe Richards (Woods Hole Theater Company).  The program is funded by generous support from the Kaplan Foundation.

Bronwen Prosser  is a  Cape Cod native, actor and playwright who graduated from New York's Atlantic Acting School. Her hit one woman show The Make-Out Queen was raucously applauded by New York and Cape Cod critics alike. She is currently co-writing a new play in tandem with Edward Albee fellow Danny Mitarotondo. Bronwen has been awarded best actress for her role in Lisa Robinson's filmBreaker, and was a founding member of the New York Theatre Company The Common Tongue as well as the Cape Cod Burlesque Troupe The Brazen Belles. She has been an active participant at the Cotuit Center for the Arts, recently directing Boston Marriage, and is thrilled and honored to create work with her Cape community in this new playwright's series. www.bronwenprosser.com
