NPX Recommend-a-thon: December 2024

We had a congenial, productive coworking session in the December NPX recommend-a-thon. We opened the session reflecting on the most memorable show we saw - or the most memorable play we read - in 2024. Breakout rooms weren’t necessary this time, as the group was small enough to co-work together. We reconvened as a group at the halfway point and at closing to share reflections. During these breaks, participants shared several plays, playwrights, and resources for translation. Participants expressed gratitude that the NPX RAT provides a dedicated time and space to support the playwriting and dramaturgical communities, and also to catch up on our reading lists! Participants wondered if there was space for the NPX to support international playwrights. 

And with that, we will see you in 2025!
