For years, MCC Theater's PlayLabs were one of the city's best kept secrets: free readings of new plays by some of the most exciting playwrights in New York. In 2008, PlayLabs went public. We brought audiences into the play development process, where they heard new work from the writers of MCC's Playwrights' Coalition, and met the playwrights, actors, and directors at our post-reading receptions.
PlayLabs are presented at Baruch Performing Arts Center
