DENVER CENTER THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES LINEUP FOR 2012 COLORADO NEW PLAY SUMMIT

The Denver Center Theatre Company (DCTC) confirms its commitment to new works and solidifies its position as one of the nation’s top tier new play festivals with the announcement of the lineup of playwrights and directors for its Seventh Annual Colorado New Play Summit.  

Over three days, February 10 -12, 2012 in downtown Denver, DCTC will present multiple showings of four play readings, a multimedia workshop and two fully-produced main stage plays, including new works by Pulitzer nominee Lisa Loomer, 2011 Obie winner Samuel D. Hunter, and direction by Broadway veterans Marcia Milgrom Dodge (Ragtime) and Sam Buntrock (Sunday in the Park with George). The Summit also includes the Playwrights’ Slam, a late night gathering where invited playwrights read excerpts from their latest in-progress works. Members of the public are invited to join with artistic directors, literary managers, dramaturges, directors, and press representatives who travel from across the country to view the latest works by both well-established and exciting new voices in American theatre. 

Full Summit passes, which include guaranteed seating at all readings, admission to the two world premieres, plus meals, receptions, and discounts to nearby downtown Denver hotels, are now available. For more information and Summit registration, visit www.denvercenter.org/summit or call 303-893-6030.
