Summer Reading Series 2020

This was LAUNCH PAD's first Summer Series held online, with live readings performed on Zoom for a global audience. Expanded to include four plays by four distinguished playwrights, the 2020 Series featured students from Theater 146 as well as invited guest faculty and other professional actors. While the online environment presented many challenges, all were met with enthusiasm and gratitude for coming together and continuing the LAUNCH PAD tradition steeped in the innovative creation of new work.
