Page to Stage
About this series:
Dixon Place is a laboratory environment that supports the development of new works and works-in-progress which challenge and expand creative forms of expression. Dixon Place has recently instituted a brand new series called Page to Stage. A forum for plays in development, Page to Stage is in essence a "spiffed-up, tricked out" staged reading series (with basic added admin and tech support.) Writers are encouraged to submit 20-40* minute excerpts of their pieces to present on a shared bill with two to three other artists, cultivating more audience and feedback. Talkbacks are always optional, but strongly encouraged. Keep in mind, as a works-in-progress lab, most of the work we present is of a more experimental and non-naturalistic nature. * The format is flexible, so don't worry about time lengths or restrictions.

Previous writers have included; Gia Marotta, Barbara Cassidy, Amie Hartman, Vanda, Krista Knight, Keith Biesack, Laurie Stone, Lucy Ballard, Alice Barden, Patricia Geri Russell, Michael Scott-Price, Cristiane Bouger, Susan Dunlap and Autumn Widdoes.
