KIT Int’l Playwrights Series

The KIT INT’L PLAYWRIGHTS SERIES is an annual series presenting 10 minute plays written in different languages, translated into English and presented in front of an audience that vote the best three to five plays. The finalists are semi-staged at the Opening Night of In Scena! Italian Theater Festival NY.  Each year the series focuses on a different theme with specific requirements.The global call, made possible by partnership with several companies based in NY and in various countries around the world, brings together playwrights from different cultures, countries, tradition and societies. New York, with its more than 600 languages spoken, welcomes these works on its stage to make once again “the world a theater”.
