On January 15, the National New Play Network will be launching the New Play Exchange, a revolutionary platform designed for the common good of the entire new play sector. Its goal is both simple and profound: to replace submissions as the primary way in which playwrights and producers connect with one another. LMDA is very proud to have been one of four partners supporting the development of the platform, and we hope that once the doors open, you’ll join us at newplayexchange.org!

To help celebrate the launch, LMDA will be joining and hosting different festivities around the US and Canada. Contact your Regional VP to learn more about what is happening near you! If you can't make any of the events don’t worry: the party will also be livestreamed on HowlRound.TV on at 6 pm EST on the 15th.
