Writers Block 2016 is here! We welcome some of the most important playwrights and performers in avant-garde theater to the gallery. The writers will present staged readings of new works in progress. We are thrilled to showcase the vision of contemporary writers, performers and artists, many of whom got their start in the nightclubs, seminal performance spaces, and theaters in the EV/LES.
The staged readings series is a benefit for the Actors Fund’s Howl! HELP, providing emergency financial assistance and social service support to artists who have made or continue to make their careers in New York’s East Village and Lower East Side arts communities .Howl! HELP is administered by the Actors Fund. 100% of ticket sales will be given to The Actors Fund for the Howl! HELP financial assistance fund.
Join us as we celebrate these incredible playwrights! Tickets to all performances available through www.brownpapertickets.com.
