We can all sit around and list off the problems with modern theater so I won’t bore you with a recitation of facts we all largely agree upon. The Quarantine Players are a scrappy theater start-up that is in a position to break all the rules. We were told we can’t put out new work all the time. Yes, we can you just have to treat playwrights like we matter, make them part of the process and value our input. 

We are your source for new plays from amazing playwrights.  Each week we choose a new play to read for you.  We are different because we involve the playwright in every step of the process.  Most of our writers will attend all the rehearsals and provide feedback along the way.  We don't just honor playwrights by waiting till their work goes into the Public domain so we don't have to pay them.  We prefer our playwrights to still have their pulse.
