ESPA*DRILLS
ESPA*Drills is an annual new play development program providing professionally staged readings to ESPA playwrights. Each June, four plays are selected from dozens of submissions for workshopping at Primary Stages. They are then professionally cast, marketed, and presented before an audience of industry peers on an Off-Broadway stage later that summer. ESPA*Drills provides an exclusive opportunity for students to receive professional attention through the resources and support of Primary Stages.
