New Writing by and about Women Nurtured by Fallen Angel Theatre

For many years Fallen Angel Theatre Company has been a strong advocate and support for new writing by and about Irish and British Women.  We have served as a platform and a home for New York City based writers to develop and nurture their plays, including Barbara Hammond's Eva the Chaste from The Eva Trilogy and Honor Molloy's Maiden Voyages set in the Rotunda Hospital Dublin.  To continue with our nurturing mission we are formally announcing we have a new and more structured program in development. Full details of which will be announced soon.
To kickstart our project for our 2018/2019 Season we will be selecting a play by 2 different playwrights and host a developmental workshop with each writer.  Fallen Angel will provide a two day workshop with director, actors, dramaturg support, an especially invited audience for a private reading, all in a supportive, and nurturing environment.
The goal of this program will be to provide a mutually beneficial experience not only for Fallen Angel, but also for the selected recipients, giving writers an opportunity to work with an experienced New York City based off Broadway company. For more detail on this program please contact us at info@fallenangeltheatre.org
